Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has criticised Australia's travel restrictions for not going far enough.
While giving an update on the state’s coronavirus situation, the premier said it was difficult to understand why his federal counterparts have not included the United States on the no-fly list.
“It’s a little difficult to explain why say China, who have very few new cases, there are travel bans there but the United States are free to travel when we’re seeing many many new cases, indeed the majority of Victoria’s new cases, are connected to those who have travelled from the United States,” he said.
“I think that arrangement similar to New Zealand will absolutely be on the agenda to be discussed today (at the national cabinet meeting) as they should be.
“We need to do everything we can do to flatten this curve and I think there is more we can do in terms of travel.”
