I thank Senator McKenzie for that question. Australia is not built to have internal borders. That is why our government is focused on keeping Australia as open as possible, while managing the health and economic challenges that COVID-19 presents. Border management must continue to be informed by the public health advice, which is why we are determined to get a hot spot definition based on that medical advice.
