How sad that Tim Soutphommasane feels Sydney's mentality was returning to the claustrophobia of the 1950s. This is what the pandamic has done to us. A plan to once more become that globally engaged country is what we need. Please!

We absolutely want and need tourists to return, both from a social and economic perspective. The Big Island mentality, and reality, is not good for the economy, or our commitment and love for diversity, not to mention the delight most of us have in meeting fellow global citizens on the back of a dive boat or cycling around a regional winery. Open the borders and keep them open, I want to see our cafes, streets, rural regions and CBDs buzzing with people again. The sooner the better.
