Live breaking news: PM stands firm on international border decision
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has refused to be drawn on when international travel will resume in full, saying he won't risk Australia being overwhelmed by overseas COVID-19 cases.
Mr Morrison said strict international border rules were a major factor in keeping Australians safe and allowing citizens to regain other freedoms, warning allowing overseas travel too quickly could plunge the country back into lockdown.
“I’m not going to have Australia’s way of life changed by an incursion of cases into the country, and seeing lockdowns occur again and see border closures happening internally,” he said.
