Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has closed the Queensland border to all of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The Premier said the border closure – which will come into effect from 1am on Saturday – was “tough on Queenslanders” but “the right thing to do because your health comes first”. “We’ve seen what’s happened in Victoria and we don’t want to see that happen here,” she said.
” Premier Palaszczuk issued a renewed warning to Queenslanders not to travel to Victoria, NSW or the ACT. “We’ve seen Victoria is not getting better, and we’re not going to wait for New South Wales to get worse,” she said. “I said I would not hesitate… and today is the day we say we are putting Queenslanders first.” The Premier said the border announcement was, in part, in response to “continuous breaches”.
Queensland beautiful one day, closed the next. Fortress Queensland!
HkarterKarter New South Wales needs to keep Queensland rednecks out as well
Suicide rate is through the roof because of this economic crisis...
Her stupid sledgehammer approach is literally killing the Qld economy. Hard border closure with 3 days notice, ridiculous. Just makes it up on the fly
Idiot
This moron is destroying her State for a few active cases.
That’s a typical moronic response, so the good folk in many parts of rural NSW and Victoria have never had ANY outbreak and yet this dumdfuck Communist dictator punishes all them and her own economic rebuild..if they vote her back in they deserve the pain...
It’s closing another loophole that some idiots (who think they’re smart) exploited. We’re all paying the price of these dumb people. Look what Victoria is going through because of a handful of them flout the rules. Covid kills jobs, the economy and people.
FFS NSW. Ruining the plans of all ACT residents. We do the right thing. We have no cases..and you bastards make us stay here in the snow!!
Election looming
and like WA will Palmer take QLD to the Federal / high Court
Excellent about time
VERY GOOD NEWS
Incompetent pure politician taking the Great Queensland and its people on a road to ruin. There is no science or fact to support this fool.
Hooray!!
I wonder if there may be better, more effective, boundaries than the old colony borders for the purpose of controlling covid19
Because, she has been on TV enough this week ?
Leaders set clear direction and take responsibility for decisions. The social function of leadership is to provide certainty in an uncertain world. ✅
