@VSchwarcz Yes anyone entering Australia from anywhere has mandatory 14 days quarantine. But if we managed to travel overseas many countries will let us just walk on in. In practice it's very hard to get out of Australia unless you enter into a lease in another country saying you intend to stay there and obviously it's really hard to find a commercial flight to most countries from Australia.

There is one fundamental difference with Australia and US. It is bipartisan policy to ,after we discovered it's possible, contain the virus. With the US there is bipartisan agreement that all borders remain open and there policy is mitigation as in don't over flow hospitals. No jurisdiction anywhere in the world has contained the virus with open borders. If you have enough money and get a government permit to travel you can travel from Melbourne to New York , London or Paris and you will just walk through the airport as an Australian, no quarantine, nothing. But as you are aware come to Brisbane or Sydney from Melbourne without an exemption, it's 14 days mandatory government supervised quarantine partially at your cost. A big big difference.
