Eva George (@littlediythings) Coronavirus has halted immigration to Australia and that could have dire consequences for its economic recovery. Australia's migration intake this year is expected to plummet due to coronavirus-induced travel restrictions and shutdowns, creating a raft of economic and social headaches set to prolong its recovery from the pandemic.
Australia’s immigration program has played a key role in nearly three decades of essentially uninterrupted economic growth. Due to border closures around the world, the total number of migrants who will make Australia home this financial year, both temporary and permanent, will be far lower than it has been in a long time. Nearly 300,000 temporary visa holders have left Australia since the start of the year according to the federal government and there are predictions the country will miss out on another 240,000 would-be migrants by the end of the year.

He said players would be subject to a 14-day mandatory quarantine, just like everyone else entering the state. Jacob Kagi (@kagij)“A 14-day quarantine period will be required,” WA Premier Mark McGowan says of prospect of AFL teams flying into WA.

Covid-19: Australian govt. plans to restart sports as spread of virus slows - Sports News. The Australian government will meet on Friday to discuss how sport can restart as the number of new coronavirus cases dwindles and states begin to relax restrictions on social gatherings, two sources familiar with the details told Reuters.
Australia has reported about 6,700 cases of the new coronavirus and 93 deaths, significantly below the levels reported in the United States, Britain and Europe. Growth in new infections has slowed to less 0.5% a day, compared to 25% a month ago. “The agenda includes the principles for sport and other recreational activities,” one source familiar with the cabinet agenda told Reuters. Coronavirus has shredded the global sporting calendar including, putting top European soccer leagues and the National Basketball Association on hold, and forced the delay of the Olympics. The sporting suspensions have left some codes under mounting financial pressures as revenues run dry and television networks push to renegotiate rights deals. Australia's links with China must change, but decoupling is not an option.
Two events this week have illustrated two fundamental tensions in Australia’s relationship with China.
The first event was China’s ambassador to Australia suggesting a Chinese boycott of Australian exports, due to Australia pursuing an independent inquiry into the early response to the COVID-19 outbreak. In an interview on April 27, ambassador Cheng Jingye said Chinese tourists and students might have second thoughts about a country “not so friendly, even hostile”. “And also,” Cheng added, “maybe the ordinary people will think why they should drink Australian wine or eat Australian beef.” Read more: China-Australia relations hit new low in spat over handling of coronavirus The second event was the “blindsiding” of federal health minister Greg Hunt at press conference with mining magnate Andrew Forrest on April 29, when Forrest invited China’s consul-general for Victoria and Tasmania to speak.
If Australia and New Zealand restart travel, they should include the Pacific in their bubble. As Australia and New Zealand tentatively celebrate successes in their battles to bring Covid-19 under control, Winston Peters, New Zealand’s deputy prime minister, has raised the possibility of the two nations opening up travel to one another.
The mooted “trans-Tasman bubble” would allow travel between these two countries, which seem – for now – to have brought infection rates under control, while keeping their borders with the rest of the world closed or tightly managed. While this seems like an excellent idea, it is one that needs go further. Specifically this spirit of neighbourliness needs to be extended to the small island states of the Pacific.
Aside from giving real substance to Canberra’s talk of a “step-up” in the region, if managed carefully, medically there is little to lose and economically there is much to gain from this approach. How did Australia flatten its coronavirus curve? Restrictions easing as infection rate continues to fall. That many Australians now find themselves in such an enviable position would have been unthinkable only a month ago, during which nationwide daily infection rates reached into triple figures.
But on Friday, the entire country reported just 16 new cases, a sharp decline from a peak of 460 new infections on March 28. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Friday the country will consider relaxing nationwide lockdown guidelines next Friday, earlier than planned. "Australians have earned an early mark," Morrison said. "We need to restart our economy, we need to restart our society. " "No more cases in South Australia. The southern state of 1.6 million people, home to the country's fifth most populous city Adelaide, has reported 438 confirmed Covid-19 cases, with only 14 remaining active cases and four deaths, according to the SA government.
"I think many people are surprised in Australia at how well we have done. Restrictive measures But the country has also had its shares of missteps.
