The national plan, as set out, means that we get to phase B where restrictions begin to ease at 70 per cent vaccination rates. And, at 80 per cent, we are able to live with the virus and the vaccination rates continue. Now, in no plan and in no scenario do we make the assumption that COVID is eliminated, that COVID somehow miraculously disappears from the planet. We will need to have ways of continuing to manage that, even at those high vaccination rates. But the plan we have set out is a plan that Australians can achieve. The plan we have set out is a plan that Australians are daily achieving. We have set out that plan and we have set out that pathway, and Australians will come on that path with us. Others may not wish to, but we will steadfastly go about that plan.
