‘Very disappointing’: Home Affairs Minister calls on states and territories to follow national plan

Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews says it’s “very disappointing” that not all states and territories are following the national plan.
Under the national plan, states and territories are meant to reopen their borders when they hit 70 and 80 per cent vaccination targets.
“The national plan was put together with states and territories, with support from the federal government,” Ms Andrews said on 6PR Mornings.
“It’s actually a very good plan, it’s very easy to understand, very easy to follow.
“It does allow that there will be some shifts over time when we have to response to particular threats or different variants coming in, that was all clearly anticipated.
“But I would urge all of the states and territories to adhere to the national plan, it is a step-by-step process about how we will reopen Australia.
“It’s important to individuals, families and of course our businesses.”
