2 July 2021 1:25pm
Australia’s National Cabinet has agreed to halve the number of people allowed into Australia per week and set up vaccination targets.
International arrivals will be capped at 3,035 people per week from 14 July, in rules which will be in place until at least the start of next year. The number of arrivals will be a drop from 6,370.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said National Cabinet would consider changing the caps sooner should the medical advice on the caps change.
In response to calls by the governments of Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia, commercial flight numbers would be cut, but repatriation flights would increase though there were no details given regarding the number of extra flights to be provided.
