LET ME OUT
With some countries cautiously opening their borders to fully-vaccinated tourists, I'd like to leave Australia to travel. I would not qualify for an exemption under the current rules but I'm prepared to do the following: stay away for at least three months, pay a bond to cover quarantine costs on my return, and sign a waiver saying that I wouldn't expect the Australian government and its diplomats to help me get home. Is this a possible plan to get us travelling overseas again?
