The plan has been agreed to by the national cabinet, the Prime Minister revealed today.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced the national cabinet has agreed to a three-step plan and a national framework to achieve a “COVID-safe economy and society”, with intrastate recreational travel among the first activities to resume.
Morrison named regional travel as an activity which may resume in step one of the plan, with Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy adding interstate travel would be included in step two.
The three-step plan is hoped to be completed “by July”, but the PM admitted there would be “inconsistencies” and that states “will and must move at their own pace,” and that they will “cut and paste out of this plan to suit their local circumstances”.
Morrison said he was continuing to talk to New Zealand about a Trans-Tasman bubble, but added that he couldn’t see international travel happening “any time soon”.
