Prime Minister Scott Morrison is pushing to fast-track the resumption of international travel once Australia’s most populous state, New South Wales (NSW), readies its home quarantine program.

In a Facebook live stream on Oct. 11, with NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, Morrison discussed bringing forward the start date of international travel for fully vaccinated people by two weeks to Nov. 1. The original date was slated for mid-November once 80 percent of the population had received two vaccine doses.
