Carrie Bickmore has revealed a personal cost to the continued closure of state borders on The Project as debate heats up over Christmas.

The Project host Carrie Bickmore conceded that she can’t see how Queensland and Western Australia will open its borders to New South Wales and Queensland by the festive season.

University of New South Wales epidemiologist Mary-Louise McLaws told The Project on Monday that it would be unusual for WA or Queensland to reopen its borders by Christmas but suggested a scenario in which the state could require rapid antigen testing at the border for incoming travellers.

Other states, including South Australia, has committed to reopening borders once the 80 per cent double vaccination rate has been reached, as was the original agreement struck in National Cabinet.

The national vaccination rate is currently 51 per cent fully vaccinated and 76 per cent for first doses.

Queensland is at 45 per cent double vaccinated and 64 per cent first doses while WA is at 45 per cent double vaccinated and 63 per cent first doses.
