Current Australian government COVID management practise suggests that foreign investors must be barred until a vaccine is found: Unrealistic expectation means tourism, aviation assets have little value, if any

While Dan Andrews and his Victorian Government openly pursue a COVID elimination policy (even if they do not say so) the rest of Australia seems to be doing the same, even if in a more covert manner.

Given current policies it is hard to see how any state government, and the Commonwealth,  are going to take the risk of allowing foreign visitors into the country for fear of contagion.  Current attitudes suggest that no political leader would be prepared to take the risk of having any of their citizens even seen to be infected by a foreigner. 

That being the case tourism and airline operators in this country can expect that only the successful implementation of a worldwide vaccine program will see things return to even 50% of pre-WuhanCovid levels. 

Taken to its logical conclusion current Australian COVID policies mean  tourism, aviation assets  have little value, if any.
