despite the advice from the chief medical officer explicitly counselling against the restrictions.
"I recommend consideration be given to enhancing Australia's existing surveillance capabilities with a particular emphasis on international arrivals." Travellers on flights transiting through China, Hong Kong and Macau do not need to undertake the test.Paul Kelly's letter reveals he did not believe there was sufficient public health rationale to introduce the restrictions.
Butler told radio station FiveAA when he announced the measure the nation's chief health officers did not recommend the measures but he introduced them anyway out of an abundance of caution. It comes as the World Health Organisation claims there is an "absence" of information about the COVID-19 situation, including strains and numbers, in the country.
"For example, we're moving to test the wastewater that comes off aeroplanes travelling from China," he said.Butler said the decision to introduce the testing requirements is to enhance Australia's knowledge of the COVID-19 situation in China.
Do you not remember where Covid came from 😡😡😡😡
So why did ppl support restrictions and mandates regarding the vax.
All goes to show - as a politician you run with what is expedient. Crossing the floor mentally for any perceived personal gain is no problem for the galoots on either side.
Do some of these so called experts really know what their doing, or are they talking through their fob pocket!
Now that Fauci has retired there is no science follow🤣🤣
Oh well no need to vax anyone then yeah?
Finally the govt acting in line with the pandemic plan. Hopefully this is a thing now.
With new strains and little transparency from China , I would say “how much more evidence do we need?”

There’s hope with this story. Maybe finally the medical establishment will splinter from politics.
Good move. Better to have more international 'students' undercutting Australian workers' wages and money-laundering kleptocrats buying up our land, than to safeguard the wellbeing of the Australian people.
Hey 9news, why don’t you look into what The Australian government did to its own citizens for the past 2 years. That will blow your mind.
pharmaceutical to government its ok we have booster 5.6.and 7..ready, government have they been tested to be safe, pharma. on quinea pigs tested, ah yeah good enough.....government we are talking about two legged variety, pharma, yes of course.
Don’t even think about putting any of us in a lock down if you can’t prevent them from entering our country 🤣 if you do it just shows the control you’re trying to get, you aren’t helping anyone and you never have 🤣
Mark_Butler_MP and healthgovau
This is not good, heed to the advice of the experts, please.
At this rate they may not make it through customs
9NewsMelb How many more families are being fractured, relationships shattered and livelihoods destroyed by these clueless sociopathic central planners ? End all mandates and restrictions NOW.
You think this is the first time the govt has gone against health advice relatung to the plandemic and convid 🤣😂🤡. Why are you running a story now ..youve played your role in being complicit the past 2 years and following gov't orders to run hourly propaganda pieces
So in uk any travellers from China must have neg test. If they arrive to uk and airport test positive the auth. will take samples to obtain for data purposes (as China has failed to provide) to check for variants. Traveller will be allowed into country
9NewsMelb So Governments said medical health experts were the ones making decisions during the pandemic, now they won't listen to them. Move along, nothing to see here.
Why is their any requirements if the vaccine works so well? Doesn't it reduce illness?
Well I do my family and Zi have been so bloody sick with it prior to Christmas and we still are it’s called self preservation and Australians are owed this, our lives have been ruined by it
9NewsAdel WTF. What rock have you live under the past 2 years Or you advocating that the government and medical systems stance over the past 2 years was pure bull shit !!!!!?
9NewsSyd 01/02/2023 Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: We should not allow Chinese President Xi Jinping to send infected persons again around the world, knowingly infecting people all across the globe.
9NewsSyd Politicians are making a deal with the Chinese Communist Party for the lives of Australians!
It's obvious the government is obeying China's covid travel policy and not the standard we already have
LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS suddenly goes out the door 😕
9NewsMelb Very good that Labor do not make Chinese go into quarantine camp they demand and build for Aussie people. Chinese should never be treated that way as aussie people vote for Government that obey and be nice to China who is honest and trustworthy friend.
Kelly needed to be ignored..his advice has 'sucked'
Let a new variant rip through instead . . 🙄
The Labor Government was elected by the people, the CMO was not. The Government has the responsibility. It has acted prudently.
Rember listen to the experts lol.
So now the “government” is the science? 😂😂😂😂
