As if countries like India would care about 'doing the right thing'.

Of course they'll handball it to someone else down the line.

I think that they should look at locking down hotspots but allow regional Victoria to run business as usual, their cafes/pubs/restaurants business as usual.

Security on entry - people from within the region are allowed in, people from Melbourne and surrounding region refused entry.

That way regional VIC can start firing up where they have no cases.

10 suburbs in Melbourne in lockdowm. Only four reasons to be out of your home (in brief):

1. Work
2. Care giving
3. Exercise
4. Food and essential supplies.

Booze bus style checks on major roads checking as to why people are leaving their suburb.

Postcodes where restrictions will apply:

3012
3021
3032
3038
3042
3046
3047
3055
3060
3064

Flights diverted from Melbourne

Mr Andrews said he would ask the Prime Minister to divert all flights away from Melbourne for the next two weeks.

"I will have conversations with other state leaders to explain that and to thank them in advance of the extra load that they will carry," he said.

"That is for the abundance of caution."

They should be quarantining them on Christmas Island for 2 weeks before letting them back into the country.

Christmas Island is a bust as far as been used for quarantining as they do not have the medical facilities to cope, the head of the Australian Medical Association Tony Bartone has already stated "Christmas Island lacks the facilities if someone should fall seriously ill", i've been there on a number of occasions and they definitely wouldn't cope.....
