Elimination would mean permanent zero COVID, not 'extended periods'. They have been able to have 'extended periods' due to tight border control but that's not 100% effective hence the current lockdowns across Australia triggered by only a handful of cases. When the threshold is that low, there's no predictability hence no promise of stability. That is what makes elimination absurd.
