Disappointed that arrivals caps will be halved by 50% - stranded citizens and residents already the carrying the primary burden of Australia’s covid response. Where there has been governmental error, the burden has been consistently placed on private citizens. I explain why here:

The trial for home quarantine is welcome, but concerning that there are no targets, dates or firm commitments regarding the short- and medium-term.
Similar concerns for commitment to allow travel for vaccinated Australians here.

I don't understand the reduction by 50%. If they really felt it was essential to cut the number of high-risk travelers, maybe? But why cut the number of vaccinated low-risk travelers?
Those numbers could easily be increased through home quarantine or less rigid Hotel Q.

It will become unavailable for many commercial airlines to continue operating and I expect the states know this.
