Australia slammed shut its borders 600 days ago. But today, NSW, Victoria and the ACT allowed fully vaccinated travellers from abroad to enter Australia, and heaps of countries are letting double-jabbed Aussies to travel there quarantine-free. It's not all smooth sailing though, as some states remain inaccessible for both domestic and international travellers.



Also, what the heck is COP26 and why has Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison received a frosty reception at the important global climate talks in Scotland?



And, people are turning to online subscription services to avoid the cost and the hassle of going to the GP to renew their scripts for the contraceptive pill.



Live guests:

Dr Bryce Wakefield, National Executive Director, Australian Institute of International Affairs

Ben Groundwater, travel writer and podcaster
