After almost three years apart, Linh Dwyer and her family arrived early at Sydney’s international airport on Sunday desperate to clap eyes on her parents flying in on Singapore Airlines’ flight SQ231 with another 158 passengers.
The flight was the first of two to three flights a day from Singapore that are expected to help revive Australia’s decimated international tourist industry. Singaporeans are very valuable tourists: the seventh-highest spenders of all visitors. In 2019, they stayed eight nights on average and spent nearly $3000 a person, according to Tourism Australia.
Under the arrangements, fully vaccinated Singaporeans travelling from Singapore who present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of departure will be allowed to visit.

Flood-hit Canadian province limits petrol purchases, non-essential travelBritish Columbia imposes restrictions on fuel and non-essential travel to ease supply chain disruptions and support recovery work after floods and mudslides that have destroyed roads, houses and left thousands stranded. There’s no petrol in any local stations as this announcement brought panic buying. There is no enforcement of those restrictions. Its not about a flood , its not about the China virus. This is the Globalists plan in action to bring down the first world. I see Dan Andrews is at it again.
