Mr Morrison has complied at different times with health requirements put in place or requested by authorities, be they the recommendations of the Chief Medical Officer of Australia, or, when he has been in New South Wales, restrictions in place at particular points in time in New South Wales, or restrictions put in place here, when he's been in the ACT. Oftentimes, those restrictions have had to be particularly targeted to deal with the Prime Minister returning from necessary overseas work and engaging in that necessary overseas work, for him to then meet requirements of quarantining and isolating upon return but also to be available to be able to handle the duties of the office of Prime Minister, be that the way in which he's engaged in cabinet or other deliberations or with the Australian media. Where it has been a condition that health authorities have suggested that vaccination status be a factor in relation to those isolation periods, the Prime Minister's complied with that.
