Over 50 flights are scheduled to land in Australia in the next24-hours as Aussies around the world return to their families.

While Australians and some others were granted permission to return at the end of last year, this border opening allowed multiple other individuals to enter.

The state of Western Australia is however an exception and they will not be opening their borders until the 3rd of March and only to triple jabbed individuals, the BBC reports.

Dan Tehan, Australia’s Minister of Trade, called the arrival of visitors “wonderful, wonderful news for our tourism industry and the 660,000 people employed in it”.

Australia’s  tough border policy has caused massive disruption to their economy, with Aussie businesses losing out on an estimated 9.5 million tourists who visit the land down under.

There is however a stipulation to entry. Unvaccinated arrivals are still being required to quarantine for two weeks, which they will be expected to self-fund.

The Australian Tourism Export Council’s latest survey found that 66 percent of tour operators have raised concerns over tourists being reluctant to return to the nation – most likely due to the harsh restrictions that were previously in place – despite Tourism Australia’s $40 million advertising campaign “Come and Say G’Day – Don’t Go Small” being launched in Western nations.

Australia had some of the world’s toughest coronavirus restrictions, with individuals at times being arrested for not wearing masks, individuals being forcibly detained in coronavirus camps despite having negative tests, police using rubber bullets to break up protests they deemed to be illegal, and vaccine mandates for certain professions.

Despite having these tough restrictions, Australia is currently being hit with widespread coronavirus cases with it being reported the island nation has reached three million coronavirus cases with “the majority of them were recorded during the recent Omicron outbreaks”.

The nation’s reputation was also damaged following the Novak Djokovic deportation scandal, with an analysis of Google search trends showing in January that there was a 25 percent higher search rate for those seeking refunds for the Australian Open tennis competition than those looking to buy tickets.

Even former Aussie Prime Minister Tony Abbott labelled Australia’s approach to coronavirus as “heavy handed” and warned that governments are “becoming addicted to a crisis” in December 2021.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
