Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has flagged a bolstering of border security measures at airports once international travel recommences post-coronavirus. Speaking with Sky News, the minister said his department is in the process of planning new biosecurity measures in the wake of coronavirus, which he expects will be with us for years to come. “We are also looking at what our border system will look like in six to 12 months' time,” Mr Dutton said.
"We don’t know what will happen next flu season. We don’t know whether there will be another pandemic in 12 months or 12 years' time. "We need to look at the technology we have got available and look at assessing that threat as the human threat crosses our borders.” Mr Dutton also flagged the possibility of a Trans-Tasman Bubble, saying New Zealand would be a “natural partner” if Australia were to ease travel restrictions amid COVID-19.
may as well concentrate on airports cause he fucked up the liners at the ports
Already has machine guns, what next tanks patrolling outside terminals? Honestly is this an issue for him to think about during dark times. FRO
Wat
Line tge Ruby Princess?
Too late Dutton you failure. You had one job. You failed and you’re looking for scapegoats. BorderFarce
Pity it wasnt in place before he presided over the appalling shit show at the airports and his greatest triumph RubyPrincess The horse has left the stable Spud
Aaah good ol Peter Dun Nutten 😂😂😂
Start with cruise ship ports, Spud.
Until Amelia tells them they can go or will that be outsourced to state Health Depts?
Peter “Ruby Princess” Dutton Missing when he was actually needed Now trying to rewrite history
Don’t forget about the boats!
He is the moron, who let all those people from cruise ships wonder around infecting Australians. Why didnt he boost security in January
Great
He has authority over many departments and an enormous budget. He’s been the minister. Why isn’t border security managed properly?
So he's finally left boats.
Holy crap. The most useless human being on the planet again points out how irrelevant he is. Just resign Dutton. Oxygen thief.
Professor Isaac Ben-Israel, chairman of the Israeli Space Agency and Council on Research and Development, shows that “the spread of the coronavirus declines to almost zero after 70 days—no matter where it strikes, and no matter what measures governments impose to try to thwart it
And what of Ports? Interesting that they’re not mentioned?
He's thinking of screening at airports - Now? Too fucking late mate - a lazy few million spent screening arrivals back in Feb would have saved us hundreds of billions. Resign already PeterDutton_MP .
What? No more Open Borders
Cornering China on Corona- is Discrimination-SCOMO should realize that this will fuel hatred towards this community in Australia- which is already happening- Diplomacy and not Dog tail wagging along side Trump is the need of the Hour.Sorry but Patience and caution is the Word-
Aust will achieve virus free status, most Pacific countries have virus free status, NZ may achieve virus free status, though many countries will struggle for years. PeterDutton_MP
There will need to be restrictions to international travel. All arrivals will need to go via a quarantine period and possibly testing. PeterDutton_MP Aust must increase biosecurity measures.
more Dutton words and threats, so little action, other than small fishing boats...the border is still open for cheap labor sourcing and always will be a national security threat!
