In a sit-down interview with SBS News, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said there will be an assumption in Tuesday’s federal budget that the country’s international borders will reopen next year.

, noting Australia has not moved to an “elimination” strategy for COVID, and that “zero cases” was not the goal.

“And, as always, we will continue to listen to the medical advice and make decisions in the best health and economic interests of all Australians.” The Treasurer also said the decision to threaten punitive measures for Australians in India to stop them trying to get home during the pandemic was among many"challenging" decision that have been made during the pandemic.

🤮🤮🤮🤮

There should also be an assumption of decreasing population ... as people who are able to leave the world’s largest prison will do so ...

So the budget is taking into consideration the savings made after killing off the aged pensioners?

Is It just me or are they all enhancing and embellishing their spud-like qualities in solidarity with the spudmeister?

Just a political move to avoid themselves taking the blame of managing covid.

OMG he’s taken smiling lessons! I almost didn’t recognise him!

Positioning himself as prime minister. Personally I think it is an absolute delusion but with the amount of thickness around who is to say…

That's the spirit Josh, close your eyes and hope for the best, it's all you've got left! JoshCantCount

It doesn't take a crystal ball to predict a lot of window dressing, smoke and mirrors and absolutely no shred of substance or forsight

Wasn't last years budget based on the early release of a viable COVID-19 vaccine this year and the relaxation boarder? How is this working out? 2021

Is Josh PM?

That’s brave.

The public needs protection from the corruption and Rorts

Oh dear....Has it been photoshopped to give him that pointy head? Or is that his real head?

That assumption is not possible. To achieve that the world would have to commit to vaccine equity. This is far from happening. Without it vaccines will mutate at a far more dangerous rate and vaccines will become useless.

Assumptions usually make an ass out of u and me

What is govt's plan for federal quarantine facilities? It is their responsibility. Couples separated coz of his Govt cruel partner visa policies & not granting travel exemptions when they have valid visas (esp after waiting 2+yrs for the visa) JoshFrydenberg protest4partners

Congratulations JoshFrydenberg for becoming the chief medical officer of Australia and senior medical advisor with WHO TGAgovau & CDCgov. I am sure you gave this statement as you understands the science so well. Btw did you manage to find that $60 billion ? 🥲🥲

He who misplaced $60 billion, most of debt incurred before pandemic and last election we're back in the black next year....sheer incompetence like rest of LNP...now taking ALP policies and slapping their label on it and still managing to stiff them up.

You mean a loophole for when they yet again don’t deliver JoshFrydenberg failures

because we take medical and scientific advice from a potato and a shock jock.....

Morphing into another potatoe head.

They're opening up the borders by stealth and got caught out in India with blood on their hands. This won't deter them, vulture capitalism is all they know.

This must definitely happen. A new approach to Covid is needed urgently ..
