The Doherty Institute behind the modelling for Australia’s pathway out of the pandemic has confirmed the country can reopen under current caseloads once vaccination thresholds are met. Under the roadmap - which has been agreed to by all chief minister and premiers – once Australia hits the vaccination rates of 70 and 80 per cent, lockdowns and border closures will become a thing of the past. However, some states have been pushing back, arguing the modelling which underpinned the roadmap was done off a caseload of 30 infections and not the 11,000 which are being seen across the country at the moment. Western Australia and Queensland have threatened to go it alone and maintain their hard borders once the vaccination targets are met if case numbers are still high. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has pushed back and said there is no option but to reopen and the roadmap was an agreement to the Australian people and not just to National Cabinet.
