Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Finance and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:06): I thank Senator McKenzie for that question. Australia is not built to have internal borders. That is why our government is focused on keeping Australia as open as possible, while managing the health and economic challenges that COVID-19 presents. Border management must continue to be informed by the public health advice, which is why we are determined to get a hot spot definition based on that medical advice. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator CORMANN: The national cabinet has asked the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee to develop a common understanding of a hot spot across jurisdictions. The AHPPC will consider appropriate movement restrictions relating to a hot spot based on medical advice. This work is ongoing and will provide people who are living in those areas with clear guidance on where and when they can access health services or where restrictions may mean they have to find alternative arrangements. Of course, states do not have to wait for national cabinet to bring forward commonsense, practical and compassionate solutions to their border issues— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Senator CORMANN: as the Berejiklian government in New South Wales has already shown— Senator Pratt interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Pratt! Senator CORMANN: by announcing a border bubble with Victoria, states can enact sensible exemptions—compassionate exemptions and commonsense, practical exemptions—right now by listening to and working with local communities in affected areas. The health challenge is significant but we ask all state governments to continue to work constructively to resolve issues affecting the economic recovery. We need to ensure relevant exemptions are in place and apply them consistently and efficiently, so that disruptions to critical services for border residents and all other Australians are minimised as much as possible. We are doing everything possible to help our border communities, and the agricultural industry in particular, get through this pandemic and we call on all to join us in that effort. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, a supplementary question?
