Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has dashed hopes her state's border could reopen sooner rather than later telling Sky News the border could remain closed until September. “We review that at the end of each month. It’s advice that is given to me by the Chief Health Officer and whilst there is still community transmission in New South Wales and Victoria it will remain closed,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
“Let’s be clear we are coming up to our June school holidays and people will be able to travel up to 150km then by July you can travel around Queensland, so then, of course, it makes sense we would look at borders in around August/September.” “I am not the Chief Health Officer. If Dr Young says to me at the end of this month, we can open the border, then I’ll open the border. “But we just have to wait to that end of each month to get that medical and health advice.
AnnastaciaMP Do these people realise you don't get to have a decent health system if your economy is broke. Sick people will be sent home to suffer, die and rue the day they voted incompetents. Wealth is made by businesses not governments.
AnnastaciaMP That's due 2 the ignorant voters who say 'duh there all the same blah', come election time , there not all the same, do ur research, cause this is the aftermath of stupid so called leaders
AnnastaciaMP If NSW residents aren't allowed to holiday in regional NSW, we don't want them holidaying in Qld either. Check the 'Travel and transport' section.
AnnastaciaMP What a shame for the QLD tourism industry. With no international travel they could be cleaning up on domestic? Eradicating COVID19Aus is impossible, all she is doing is eradicating the livelihoods of QLD people in general. A self absorbed, “look at me” re-election stunt auspol
AnnastaciaMP With billions and billions racked up in unnecessary debt and corruption of those making illegal millions so close you will NEVER be reelected.
AnnastaciaMP Headless Pala-Chook
AnnastaciaMP The “great” news is most test kits from China.meanwhile, high fault testing rate is aprroved by China professionals. However, the luck thing is that CCP’s legal and illegitimate children and their mothers in Australia. So~~~~ open outbreak closed open outbreak closed
AnnastaciaMP Money important than life!
AnnastaciaMP The State Premiers are just being silly now. Especially the fool in South Australia.
AnnastaciaMP
AnnastaciaMP The sad and silly chook has totally lost her bottle. Hiding behind a retarded CMO who thinks the virus will just vanish. She and her government have been a joke and a disgrace for years. Unfortunately it is no longer funny.
AnnastaciaMP Start of September or end. I have a holiday booked. Should I cancel?
AnnastaciaMP Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Here's the evidence
AnnastaciaMP This is crazy! This is how you really F the state!!
AnnastaciaMP I thought we lived in a democratic country not a communist one!!
AnnastaciaMP I Support the QLD GOVERNMENT OPENING THE BOARDERS IN SEPTEMBER. I am one that does not believe that Restrictions should have been lifted UNTILL September. AUSTRALIA HAS LIFTED THE RESTRICTIONS TO EARLY AND WE WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS STUPID DECISION
AnnastaciaMP AnnastaciaMP to see you on TV today mocking NSW Prem about the weather while at the same time thousands of hospitality workers are waiting for the borders to reopen is disappointing. Open the borders soon. To say Sept to reopen is a slap in the face to all those with no work!
AnnastaciaMP Way to cripple the qld economy. Not allowing anyone in.
AnnastaciaMP Disgraceful.
AnnastaciaMP
AnnastaciaMP When the election do we can get rid of her....
AnnastaciaMP Because she is a fool, cross the border its ridiculously easy - it’s porous and ineffective
markc01 AnnastaciaMP Why not open the land border at Tweed? Police at the border look totally disinterested...
AnnastaciaMP Election coming soon princess...bye bye
AnnastaciaMP WT actual F
AnnastaciaMP Smart move from the Premier. Byron Bay is already filling up with tourists...
AnnastaciaMP She’ll throw the borders open in time for Schoolies.
AnnastaciaMP Open the borders and get tourism and jobs happening now.
AnnastaciaMP What happened to her buying Virgin?
AnnastaciaMP Good call!
AnnastaciaMP She’s on a power trip. it will come to an end at the election.
AnnastaciaMP And she is right for a change...why are we rushing into things to open all borders! Step by step is the way to do things..we have come this far ...so lets keep it like this until September when we enter spring!
AnnastaciaMP This total waste of space is on the same power trip as that leftie wanker running Victoria. What's the bet she postpones the election?
AnnastaciaMP Tell her to go and get her head read
AnnastaciaMP This is ridiculous and now unconstitutional. There is no justification for this. Is she really trying to kill the Queensland economy. ScottMorrisonMP as the Federal Gov’t you neeed to ensure our constitutional rights to free passage. All others remember this in October
AnnastaciaMP “Dashed hopes”. The masthead of factual, untainted reporting. Sky news Australia, you are the open sewer of public discourse.
AnnastaciaMP What a total overreaction.
AnnastaciaMP And her lousy government self-destructs in October. Won't come quickly enough.
AnnastaciaMP She said the border will open for general traffic but remain closed to bookkeepers until change of government.
EdwardJWHunter AnnastaciaMP
AnnastaciaMP Whose hopes has she dashed? I’m delighted Queenslanders have an improved chance of beating this virus through leaving border controls in place.
AnnastaciaMP Good thinking on her behalf.listening to the real experts.well done Anna.
AnnastaciaMP Closing state borders is wank and of no benefit. Grandstanding of a highest order. Can't wait to vote her and her amateurs out !
AnnastaciaMP We are in such a better position than NSW it would be follow to open that border until things are in control there
AnnastaciaMP Not justified. Not acceptable. Destructive over reaction.
AnnastaciaMP Good!
AnnastaciaMP Out come the trolls! Funny how they only target certain people.
AnnastaciaMP AnnastaciaMP knows what she's doing. Tourism within Qld a better way to get started. Border closure has worked! Four days of zero cases this week. NSW nowhere near that. (with election coming up Libs and their cheerleading media are criticising everything already).
AnnastaciaMP if we get a lot of cases in qld then open it up lol
AnnastaciaMP Oh the power, it burns!!
AnnastaciaMP Well done Premier - as the pressure mounts from the boof heads you stick to your guns - your decision is correct
AnnastaciaMP You can't stop communify transmission 100%. It is like the flu and any other virus. She is just another lefty who is out of touch and loves the power of socialism, where the government dictates to the citizens and the citizens capitulate their freedom
AnnastaciaMP Reopening to NSW and Vic residents that is Too much community transmission there for our liking atm
AnnastaciaMP A GREAT PREMIER doing the RIGHT THING FOR QUEENSLAND
AnnastaciaMP She is an absolute dimwit.
AnnastaciaMP FFS. As if anyone really wants to go to QLD anyway.. Anywhere south of the Sunshine Coast is the upside down shit hole of Australia. I bet more QLDer's want to leave to the west because there's not much more to look forward to in NSW either!
AnnastaciaMP If she wasn't already going to loose the next election then this is the final nail in her political coffin.
AnnastaciaMP One day she is trying to buy a share of Virgin the next she is trying to completey wipe it out. Does she think the new owners will/can wait 3-4 months to get flying again, while still paying staff ? Seriously who advised her on this ?
AnnastaciaMP Stupid woman. What point is there in buying an airline and that keeping your borders closed? Our state will never recover from this ideological madness.
AnnastaciaMP Will Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx Serve Time in Prison for Destroying US Economy Based on Ridiculous Imperial College Model Now Proven as Complete Trash?
AnnastaciaMP Catching the Coronavirus will dash hopes of your health!!! Your choice Sky News!!!!!!
AnnastaciaMP Their justification, disease/infection/virus, is not longer prevalent. The models/data used was wrong. Now correct data known, therefore their caveat, of using disease/virus does not stand as the exemption for Section 92
AnnastaciaMP If only her mouth could imitate it. She's going down sooner rather than later now that the lady who was actually running the state had to resign for being corrupt.
AnnastaciaMP Then create a commercial zone around Coolangatta and Tweed Heads. Move the barriers back to the Tweed River. Coolangatta Tweed Heads is ostensibly one town, the border restrictions are very harsh on someone whose house is in TH but works in Cooly. Long lines at the checkpoint.🙄
geoffrey_payne AnnastaciaMP Smart move my a very capable Premier..
AnnastaciaMP No exceptions except NRL players. Typical!
AnnastaciaMP A fucken dictator who has lost the plot, condemning her own state to bankruptcy on the strength of a pandemic with case load so low, more people will die from the economic pandemic she is inflicting...sorry Queensland for your loss.
AnnastaciaMP Meanwhile the body corporates across QLD want their contributions and council rates.....Even if it sends people to bankruptcy.. ridiculous when are these elites going to take a pay cut I say WWG1WGA Ignore the Stupid !!
AnnastaciaMP Borders are only blockages of the mind. If you feel borders are blocking you from moving forward physically, mentally, emotionally. Seek professional help!
AnnastaciaMP Than she’s sending most of the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast businesses to the wall. No question about that. If she’s waiting for zero infections to open borders, she’ll be waiting for years! And she wants to buy in Virgin Airlines ? They and Qantas will go as well!!
AnnastaciaMP This idiot and the WA idiot are focussed totally on POLITICAL POSTURING, they’re wallowing in their new found power and couldn’t care less about the resurgence of the economy and the people
