It's been more than one year since the Federal Government took the unprecedented step of closing Australia's international borders, forbidding almost everyone from entering, or leaving the country.
But just how long exactly can we remain a closed shop, especially as the emotional toll is beginning to hit Australians as hard as the economic implications, with so many of us missing loved ones overseas?
The Quicky speaks to a doctor, a local Mayor, a Federal Minister and an Australian journalist overseas to find out exactly how and when we might ever be able to travel freely again.
