This second wave in Vic sort of backs up my theory. Dont wash as often down that way - colder weather tends to encourage that behavior. Bit like the pommies - have a shower once a month regardless of weather they need it or not. Answer = encourage better hygiene practices - would be money well spent.

All these return travellers bringing it with them.  Why dont they quarantine where they are before they come  back here.   Oh thats right, the tax payers can foot the bill if they come home with it.  
animals before people.

By banning those holidaymakers entry into Queensland she is depriving that state's tourist industry of much needed revenue. If she opens the borders later in the year Queensland will not have the same appeal to southerners as the summer weather can be oppressive and local attractions in southern Australia are more appealing.

To be a successful politician you may listen to advice but at the end of the day you must lead, and Palalasxczuk is not leading.

As a person who has been known to like a bet, I would like to know what are the odds the Palaszczuk government will be thrown out in the upcoming elections and does not win a seat north of the Sunshine Coast later this year ?

I query whether Anastacia and her CMO were in agreement in opening Qld up to southern visitors. Seems like a dumb idea to take the chance of importing it from Victoria.

The easing announced on June 30 included all Victorians placed in 2 weeks quarantine. That changed to locked out pretty quickly as numbers looked likely to escalate in Victoria.

Queensland is a vagrant State ....   They can run but not hide .. Broke.

She should let the Virus in ....      That's about all they have left to create some employment

The Virus will get to Queeensland ... BLM derelicts, and their unwashed herd will make sure of that.

the biggest problem for the BLM brigade is the Surge of STD up North .

Syphilis is a horror disease making a comeback.

- In August 2018, WA declared that the outbreak had spread to the Pilbara region with the first syphilis notification in this region in February 2018. In January 2019, SA declared the outbreak had spread to Adelaide with the first notification in this region reported in February 2018. In May 2019, WA declared the outbreak had spread to the Goldfields region with the first notification in this region reported in January 2019.
2020 some 2500 cases reported.

Interstate arrivals

From 12.01pm 10 July 2020, any person travelling from New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory may enter Queensland subject to completing and signing a border declaration and undertaking (an agreement) to comply with mandatory COVID-19 testing requirements whilst in Queensland.

This means you must take a COVID-19 test if you develop any symptoms consistent with COVID-19 within 14 days of entering Queensland.

Any person who has been in a declared COVID-19 hotspot (including Victoria) within the last 14 days will not be permitted to enter Queensland, unless they are:

  • a Queensland resident returning home, subject to government directed quarantine at their own cost
  • a person performing an essential activity - essential activities are determined by the Chief Health Officer and are limited to national defence and security, emergency services, transport of freight, time critical specialist workers, or airline or maritime crew. These people will not be required to quarantine but are subject to additional restrictions and requirements
  • to fulfil a legal obligation relating to shared parenting or child access
  • a person required for Court, Tribunal or law enforcement purposes in Queensland, subject to government directed quarantine at their own cost
  • a person transiting through a Queensland airport without leaving the airport or quarantines until the time of their flight to leave Queensland
  • a person escaping an immediate serious threat to their safety, e.g. sexual or domestic violence or accessing domestic and family violence support services
  • a higher education and boarding school students and staff members, including a parent or guardian accompanying a student who is a minor, subject to government directed quarantine at their own cost.

People seeking to move to Queensland to make it their new place of residence will not be permitted to enter Queensland if they have been in a COVID-19 hotspot.

There are also special requirements for agribusiness and commercial fishing employees or contractors entering Queensland for work.

There have allegedly been numerous false declarations made by people entering Qld. Honour systems don't work, and the fines imposed, are not backed by jail if unpaid. It is only a matter of time before Qld has "hotspots".

I read on the weekend there were arrest warrants out for southerners who had submitted false declarations so it seems they are taking it seriously and researching the declarations.

I wonder if they intend increasing random testing up there? Last week Vic and NSW both averaged approaching 30,000 a day while Qld still averaged around 6,800 tests a day. If there is to be any leakage from that couple of weeks window, they should be starting to show positive soon, so I would have thought expanded random testing would have started.

I couldn't agree more..............but then we have her equal in Vic Angry

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN
While thousands of everyday Aussies are suffering due to lockdown laws and border bans, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has granted special privileges to American movie star Tom Hanks and allowed him to enter Queensland from overseas.
Apparently, if you are rich and famous Premier Palaszczuk has decided the rules don't have to apply.
This is nothing short of a huge slap in the face to the thousands of Aussies desperately trying to navigate Queensland's draconian border lockdown.
My office has been inundated with calls and emails from Australians desperately trying to get permission to be with seriously ill or dying loved ones in Queensland.
Some of them have been waiting to hear from the Palaszczuk Government for days without answer!
Apparently, if you are just a regular Aussie you get left on hold, yet when she feels like it Premier Palaszczuk can move mountains for movie stars.

It does appear that "celebrities" are waved through, but do we know whether Mr Hanks did his 14 days quarantine when he returned ?

Fair enough, that complies, obviously the woman wanting to go to a funeral would not, I am not that impressed by Morrison involving himself in that, perish the though he sees a political advantage in it.

Her's would be a case of the "thin edge of the wedge". If you are going to apply a blanket rule, and allow exceptions, where do you draw the line, and that is the problem, in drawing a line.

Seems Anna is going a bit better than Gold Standard Gladys. She has just threatened to sack the Nationals from Cabinet unless they get inline before 10AM tomorrow.

Irrespective of the koala business it must be truly galling for Gladys to have such a total dipsh1t like John Barilaro as Deputy Premier of NSW.

Entirely reminiscent of Scotty From Marketing having to suffer as Michael McCormack Deputy Leader of the Federal Coalition.

Barilaro offers his resignation to the Nationals as Gladys wins the koala stare-down and Nationals back down on their threat to walk out.

Just another LNP clustercluck, nothing to see here.
