Prime Minister Scott Morrison has issued a public plea to break the cycle of lockdowns and has called on state leaders to abide by a National Cabinet agreement to ease restrictions once certain vaccination thresholds are met.

“That is our goal—to live with this virus, not to live in fear of it,” he told reporters in Canberra on Monday.
