But I can't see how it doesn't make a mockery of the advice we are given re social distancing. As much as we enjoy rugby league, is not "essential", but then again, the list of what is considered essential is pretty loose.
Currently QLD borders are CLOSED unless you have a permit, so you can't even come in and then agree to quarantine/self isolation.
