'I don't think we're going to stop testing and tracing and putting other restrictions in place so that's a doomsday scenario. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison also said the scenario wouldn't happen because state governments would re-introduce restrictions regardless of vaccination rates. 'But the likelihood of that occurring under an 80 per cent vaccination rate or indeed the other figures you have there at 70 per cent is obviously very different.' Phase C begins when 80 per cent of adults are double-jabbed, allowing vaccinated Australians to travel overseas for any reason. Phase C will remove all domestic restrictions on double-jabbed Aussies and abolish caps on returning vaccinated Australians.
