Act leader David Seymour: "The Government shouldn't keep the borders closed to protect those who choose not to get vaccinated." Seymour said today that the re-opening of the borders should begin next year regardless of how many people were and were not vaccinated. "The Government shouldn't keep the borders closed to protect those who choose not to get vaccinated," he said. As arrangements are fine-tuned, the borders could be opened up more, including to quarantine-free travel for the fully vaccinated. These could be stamped out quickly if there was a high proportion of the population vaccinated, alongside testing and contact-tracing.
