Victorian Government issues more than 126,000 COVID border permit approvals, but some residents still have no answers

ABC  

The Christmas tree at Jason Burland's Melbourne home is fully decorated in his living room, ready for when his two kids return from Brisbane. Key points: The Victorian Government has so far issued more than 126,000 border permits since its traffic light system went live on Monday night But there are still thousands of people in red zones who have applied for exemptions to come home or travel to Victoria Some, like Jason Burland, still have no answer on their applications After spending Christmas and the holidays with their mum in Queensland, Mr Burland was due to pick his children up from the airport on Friday afternoon. A belated Christmas celebration was planned, but Victoria's ban on travel from Brisbane — which is still considered a "red zone" because of its lockdown last week over the mutant COVID-19 strain — has put a stop to that. Ever since Victoria introduced a "traffic light" permit system Mr Burland has tried to get an exemption or permit for the children to return home but has heard nothing from the Department of Health & Human Services. And Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce — whose company has been hit hard by the various state government border arrangements — continued to pile the pressure on state governments, labelling Victoria's approach to Sydney as "out of proportion".
