SA will close its borders to Greater Brisbane as that city goes into a snap lockdown over four community transmission cases recorded there overnight.
SA has declared the Greater Brisbane area a COVID hotspot and will impose a hard-border shutdown from 4pm today.
Only SA residents, essential workers and people relocating to SA will be allowed in and must isolate for 14 days.

So how is that going to affect the Crows v Suns game? Is the SA Government going to assume that none of the Suns players or officials has visited greater Brisbane in the past two weeks or will they be given essential worker status?
Here we go...
The hard border will affect the AFL match between the Adelaide Crows and Gold Coast – AFL players are not classified as essential workers and won’t be allowed into the state.
SA Health says football players are not currently classed as essential workers. So those GC players who have been Greater Brisbane in the past week will not be allowed.
Interesting.

Close the international borders for goodness sake. Give an amnesty to everyone overseas, you've got two weeks to return - we will help you get back just ******* fund it you government campaigners, actually use my taxes for something good for once. Once you are in, you can't leave until we decide to open the borders again.
Can we please just end this s**t, we have the power do to do it but we screw around with hotel quarantine and returned travelers which ends in this garbage. Pathetically weak leadership.
We're one of the most isolated countries on earth and we still manage to * up that immense advantage.

Nobody should be surprised at that after all the AFL priority is Victoria first.
Unless Gold Coast players have been in Greater Brisbane during the last two weeks...

You're joking aren't you?
There are people still trying to get on flights from last year to return home.
The Dubai to Brisbane flight for next week run by Emirates has just been cancelled as the new caps mean they can only carry 10 passengers that day.
What airline is going to do that?
Two week amnesty? So you can just shut up shop and leave in 2 weeks? It isn't that easy to just up and leave as an expat.
How about the Australian government set up proper quarantine stations and control things properly.
Set realistic numbers and go from there.
Don't get me wrong - once home people shouldn't be able to leave again until borders open.
A few Aussie expats here have copped abuse as they've admitted to getting one of the limited seats home, having a holiday and then coming back.
Meanwhile those not as well off have been dumped off flights.
Also worth pointing out that the original government direction to expats was to stay in place if possible and they'd sort out an orderly return......that hasn't happened!!
There are no easy answers but simply "shut the borders" isn't really a viable solution for Australian Citizens who have the legal right to return home.

It seems you ignored the "government funds it" thing.
We could use Hercules for all I care. We have in the past. It's not that ******* hard, it's just the government doesn't want to throw big money at it because reasons. Big concentrations can be evacuated by the military, smaller numbers can have paid flights with commercial providers to hubs which can then be taken by the Australian military back home.
At the end of the day, everything is just money. We've had a ******* year to sort this s**t out and we're literally nowhere further down the path than we were when the s**t hit the fan. I'm not blaming ex-pats here, I'm blaming our government.

Will admit I was more focused on the “shut the borders” aspect. I tend to get annoyed with a lot of comments nowadays.
It really needs to be “control the borders and quarantine “.
Basically the federal government have mishandled this all badly by just palming it off to the states.
They’ll continue to say a lot and do nothing!!

Still highkey baffled at the mindboggling lack of common sense that ultimately led to this flare-up in Brisbane.
Like... why wouldn’t you deploy a nurse practitioner or doctor who was vaccinated instead of, you know, one that wasn’t?

Aged Care are treated very harshly in this space. They do not give shifts to people who have not completed the required training and received a flu vaccination (and now the COVID jab). They get hit by auditors almost weekly to check all of this. I find it very strange that this slipped through.

File it alongside Victoria: “okay now you must have an exit swab upon leaving hotel quarantine” & South Australia: “okay now swabs are mandatory if you work in a hot zone”, I guess.

Suns landed here about 2 hours ago.
Pretty sure the AFL charter an Alliance aircraft for all interstate travel at present?
