Australia's Health Minister says Australia will not follow the Netherlands by reintroducing state-wide lockdowns to combat the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Greg Hunt’s comments come as the Netherlands was plunged back into lockdown to stem the spread of the Omicron variant.

“So their circumstances are quite different to Australia, as well as the fact that they are going into a cold European winter… So, a different country, different circumstances.” Mr Hunt said the exceptional vaccination rate would allow residents to continue life without the hindrance of repeated lockdowns.

“But each country will make their judgement on their own circumstances. So we don't see that that's a likely situation in Australia.

Bookmarking this for a months time

Just tell the truth!!!!!

Here we go again Media Driven and Covid Nurds driven to introduce lockdown. If you Covid Nurds want to isolate and stay home because you’re scared than stay home you’re minority like the protesters are and should be punished and charged for your conspiracy.

GregHuntMP When will you apologise for all of the unnecessary deaths due to your Governments incompetence COVID19

We have the best vaccine rates because of the premier’s. Because of the mandates . Hunt & Morrison gloat about it , but it was the hard work of others they are taking credit for . Appalling

It would be good to mention that during yesterday's press conference the Dutch government confirmed also that the vaccines don't protect against omicron and that they don't know if the booster will Literally

Lol tell that to Dan Andrews who uses George Orwell as reference

He also hides the fact there's no stock for boosters. Well done again Greg Hunt.

How much do you want to bet that he will eat his words?

Of course not with the 100's of thousands marching and there being an election soon.

Actually the Fed's don't have a say in this. It's the State's that will decide what to do.

because its bs

Latest news from UK. Looks like everyone of us will catch Omicron over next few weeks even with boosters....but get your vitD and zinc ready...

There's nothing stopping people who want a lock down to go home and stay there for the next 10 years wearing 3 masks.

Wait until winter.. the same pharma concubines will be gnashing their teeth like rabid mutts at the unvaccinated

Sit down sternographer

I haven’t heard anyone talking about lockdowns. I’ve heard and have personally yelled a lot about masks, social distancing, QR code check ins, and contact tracing because it’s absurd that these precautions have been removed.

Ahh excuse me where TF is the anti-ABC & pro-fossil fuel climate change denialism stories? We’ve gone a good 2, 3 days without one! This is Fing BS.

Yes they should lockdown the anti-vaxxers.

If so, how many ICUs you have increased? That’s part of long term preparation(two years) right? Not like you need to decide lock down or not these few days.

Some people claim how close they are to their god, I start to doubt them.

He won't but some States will

A out time dick h.

Uk are talking about reintroducing lock downs as a circuit breaker introduce a plebiscite/referendum at next election whether Australians want a Federal ICAC or not the grift and fraud has to stop.👍

So confident 👍

Neither this idiot who is about 2 retire or the PM has ever had any say on what the individual state premiers do. If they want 2 close the domestic borders they will & nothing you or the PM promise will stop that,Personally I hope they don't, we are ONE country & enough is enough

Head..meet sand

Oh I give it 3 weeks.

lockdown is not option. bz aus cover large number of vaccine and cover whole population. So ScottMorrisonMP should apply plan like 72 hours isolation for international arrivals it will good for aus economy as well internationalstudents apply social distance,mask,hygine

I thought lockdowns were a “matter for the states”? Now all of a sudden Minister CaHunt wants to start throwing his weight around 5min before retiring?

Never say never!!!

It's not up to Hunt... Tasmania has already started reintroducing mask mandates

And it’s up to the Health Minister, don’t think so.

Good it’s time to just let it rip
