This is the situation presented fairly by ABC below.
Qld has had NSW south western Sydney people drive to Canberra and fly in that way. Hence now ACT is designated a hit spot.
Qld has had an influx of people breaking border restrictions driving days out of their way to come in via far western Qld from NSW. Some with C19, some without.
Many have been caught but no doubt theres more that haven't.
I myself have not been able to attend my brothwr in laws funeral in NSW because of guarantine and his own daughter who is in NZ couldnt attend. Theres thousands of people affected one way or another.
It must be a terrible responsibility to have to make life and death decisions. You cant keep everybody happy. They allow this lady to go to the funeral then everybody has the right to demand entry for very important reasons ....and there goes the border restrictions keeping us somewhat safer.
Our current outbreaks are traced back to the 3 "botox" women who attended the Melbourne party and surreptitiously flew back with gang help. This virus gets away.
We had one lady at a juvenile centre positive. Unknown source although they suspect the 3 dills. Now its spread to thousands in contact tracing and hundreds of businesses closed, cleaned plus jails etc. Schools closed.
In Qld life is fairly normal except for Logan/Ipswich area. Lots of people are travelling within the state. Borders open to other states except NSW, VIC, ACT.
Why would we want to jeopardise all the hard work and sacrifices already suffered. A second wave here would devastate our economy even more.
The AFL put a Covid plan to the Govt. After the Chief Health Officer made amendments she was happy with, they were given approval to take over the resort for their 2 week isolation. Same wirh Tom Hanks. The Premier wants the income from the AFL GF and the movie industry has had their Covid plan approved as well. The optics might look bad to some but it has been carefully considered by Dr Young and the state needs the jobs and income.
I feel terribly sad and upset for everyone impacted in all kinds of ways but this is a multi billion dollar pandemic that is being dealt with and if the health authorities feel that a 2 week isolation is required to save the greater public then thats whats needed.
A very emotional Annastacia Palaszczuk accuses Prime Minister Scott Morrison of "bullying" her to intervene in the case of a woman unable to attend her father's funeral because of coronavirus restrictions.
