Australia news live: Greg Hunt has ‘full confidence’ in NZ Covid controls after border worker contracts coronavirus

My point was actually a very simple one, that at this very moment, as it was framed last week, ‘at this very moment’, if something were to have occurred in terms of total vaccination, all want to see what is the impact on transmission. What we’ve got to, I think, is a very clear, common, national position of progressive opening, as we see the safety.

Greater vaccinations, more information about longevity and, indeed, more information about transmission. So our approach is to open as quickly and as safely as is possible but subject to safety. We want to continue to protect Australians. And then, as we have greater vaccination, we have more data globally, because we do have that access to data globally, all of that allows us to make better and informed choices.
