The premiers of Queensland and New South Wales (NSW) have rejected Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s idea for what is being called a CCP virus vaccine passport that would exempt fully vaccinated people from restrictions or lockdowns and allow them to cross borders without quarantine.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, who has long been against internal border closures and blanket lockdowns, told The Australian that people should be free to travel domestically whether they’re vaccinated or not.
“There should be no internal borders. There should be free movement within Australia, vaccine or no vaccine,” Berejiklian said.
“The vaccine is our way of dealing with international borders. There is no basis for states closing borders to other states.”
