I wonder what kind of hold the CCP must have on the Australian government to extract that kind of concession. Not requiring tests from a place where the hospitals are overflowing is unwise.

Probably the same hold that led the Aussie government to pursue Zero-Covid, too. They're the largest overseas owner of Australian agricultural land, but I doubt that's the cause, rather a symptom.

Maybe that's it because there is no logical reason not to test.

I don't get it either but at the same time all of these places, if it's the same thing around(with a full blown surge) then they will blame America/Americans for it. Like they did during the 2020-2021.
