At least the PM had something to cheer about over the weekend after his beloved Sharkies failed to make the NRL finals.

The PM is urging state and territory leaders to stick to the reopening game plan and not give in to fear over rising COVID cases.

Apparently, ScoMo wants vaccine certificates for both international and domestic travel, but it appears some of his conservative party room colleagues ain’t so keen.

Just as the PM provides some hope of an end to lockdowns, one of the states has gone and tacked on a few extra days to its own.

Tom Wanwaring has his handwriting down pat after penning a letter to the PM. Travel Weekly understands he opted for a felt tip and even sealed it with a custom wax stamp.

While Queensland’s capital was a shoo-in to snare the Games for 2032, it was still a bloody nice bit of news for Aussies to wake up to this morning.

ScoMo’s shiny new roadmap to get Australia “back to normal” includes shortened quarantine periods and unrestricted international travel for vaccinated Aussies.

While some might have hoped the G7 leaders’ summit would prompt Australia’s PM to change his tune on international travel, it appears to have had the opposite effect.

Do you have money on Singapore being the next country Aussies can travel to? Well, your bet’s starting to look a little risky.

There’s plenty to dissect here from the PM’s recent interview and, thankfully, you won’t require a scalpel.

As COVID continues to rear its ugly head in India, ScoMo has announced a number of new measures to protect Aussies from the virus.

It appears the likelihood of more travel bubbles being announced soon is about the same as ScoMo’s beloved Sharkies winning the NRL Premiership this year … not good.
