COVID-19 Travel Restrictions

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:24): My question is to the Premier. When the Premier made a statement last week about the quarantine arrangements for double vaccinated travellers from interstate before Christmas, did he have the concurrence of the State Coordinator, Commissioner Grant Stevens?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:24): I'm not sure what the member is referring to in terms of 'concurrence'. We in South Australia are signed up to the national framework, which is a four-stage framework which relates to how we end state lockdowns and end state lockouts. This is something which, of course, the police commissioner, acting as the State Coordinator during this major emergency declaration, the Chief Public Health Officer and my office are all signed up to. This is the program which is being rolled out at the moment and of course is subject to us getting to 80 per cent double vaccination for those 16 and over.
