Queensland alone faces a $15 billion black hole if it remained closed to Victoria and New South Wales beyond Christmas. Prime Minister Scott Morrison expressed his desire to secure a consistent, national approach to reopening borders between the states. Qld Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she would follow health advice and would not reopen the borders until there was no community transmission.
So if you do that then people need to be clean and respectful of other people. Hahahaha - not really funny. Shopping two days ago, QLD, saw some chick screaming and hugging others she hadn’t seen for a while 🤷♀️😡🤬
WA will not open our borders until you people over east get ya act together
State premieres are now bullies look what WA premiere turned against ClivePalmer calling him ' enemy of state' as he challenged state border lockdown on political reasons mileage not medical reasons.
So you think Palaszczuk is being political by keeping the Qld border shut?;That she is just being super cautious before the upcoming Qld election?; In fact it is far more INSIDIOUS than that,she is trying to wreck the Qld economy to make everyone dependent on her govt for support
I didn’t know Clive Palmer was into tourism?
Easy fix. Block the chinese from Sydney, the Indians from Melbourne and restrict the movement of africans in qld and the clusters will stop... Those are the exact reasons there are 0 cases in S.A ,N.T and W.A
No. Don't bow to pressure from those ignorant, pathetic antimask terrorists.

“Tourism Heavey Weights” is that Newscorp code for ‘Health Experts’? Think I’ll stick with real Health experts, just like I’ll stick with RealNews...
Yes it is time to stop hiding from the flu.
What about international borders ? This undermining of states needs to stop. Surely if we all holiday in our own state the tourist dollars will remain the same . Until Morrison opens up.
And their health qualifications are?

'Aus wasn't built to have internal borders': PM | Sky News AustraliaThe Prime Minister has drawn a clear line between the federal government's control of state borders and the commonwealth's authority over states' relations with foreign powers. \n\nWhen questioned about how proposed new legislation - which would grant the federal government power to veto agreements between states and foreign powers - would translate to federal control of internal borders, Scott Morrison said the matter was “a different area of grey”. \n\n“The constitutional issues around this are not as clear cut as the constitutional issues when it comes to the commonwealth foreign affairs powers,” he said. \n\n“Australia wasn’t built to have internal borders,” he said. \n\n“Having internal borders in Australia is an extreme response which can be necessary in extreme circumstances and based on proper medical advice and a very transparent process for doing that.\n\n“When borders get put up within a country like Australia it is very difficult to try and avoid the kind of circumstances we’ve seen occur.” \n\nThe Prime Minister has drawn a clear line between federal control of state borders and the commonwealth's authority over states' relations with foreign powers. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia ScottyFromMarketing Stealing taxpayers money They’ll soon open their borders if their GST funding is halved Borders control should be determined by Fed gov & states involved as VIC, NSW and PM did. Airlines, citizens, etc are suffering. QLD, WA, NT & SA still have restrictions between them. Why? Politics obviously. Thus we're not Australian but separate colonies.

'Labor's games will not change a thing for vulnerable Australians': Aged Care Minister | Sky News AustraliaAged Care Minister Richard Colbeck has outlined and defended the government’s response to the coronavirus crisis in the nation’s troubled aged care sector amid criticisms of ill-preparedness. \n\nSpeaking to the Senate, Mr Colbeck insisted “I have been there, we have been there, every step of the way every day … we have not stopped planning, adapting and implementing”. \n\n“For us this has never been about politics, the operation of the national cabinet demonstrates that,” he said. \n\n“Labor can have their ‘gotcha’ moments, they can ridicule and show disrespect to our most senior medical officials on the use of language at COVID meetings. \n\n“Labor’s games will not change a thing for the Australians who need our help the most.”\n\nThe Minister said he worked closely with his Victorian counterpart during the health crisis and had reached out to multiple Labor MPs to assist them in identifying coronavirus outbreaks in their electorates. \n\n“Responding to this cruel virus and its impact on communities remains my focus,” Mr Colbeck said. \n\n“We are all ultimately responsible for the decisions made to protect the people we love the most, that is my focus, to deliver the plan to keep senior Australians safe.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n richardmcolbeck He walked away from the debate,scarpered away like a coward richardmcolbeck Fake news.

Shadow Health Minister calls on PM to 'fess up' to aged care cuts | Sky News AustraliaShadow Health Minister Chris Bowen has called on the Prime Minister to “fess up” and admit to cutting aged care funding during his time as Treasurer.\n\nMr Bowen said the Morrison government's budget papers did not reflect its claim aged care spending increased by $1 billion each year over the past 10 years.\n\nThe Shadow Health Minister said it would be better for the Prime Minister to admit the inefficiencies and cuts which had been made and “then we could have a discussion about how we fix that”.\n\n“When you won’t acknowledge a problem you can’t fix it,” he said.\n\n“Scott Morrison won’t acknowledge the aged care cuts, therefore he won’t fix them.”\n\nOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese is expected to outline Labor's eight-point plan to fix the aged care sector on Thursday.\n\n“What Anthony’s doing is recognising that aged care is a federal responsibility and it’s up to the Prime Minister and the alternative Prime Minister to accept that and not only to accept it but embrace it with a plan,” the Shadow Health Minister said. \n\n“Scott Morrison has had no plan when it comes to aged care and COVID-19 … apart from cutting funds.”\n\nIn contrast, Mr Bowen said the Opposition Leader had developed a plan which would focus on resources, training and workforce. Bowenchris Both parties have failed the elderly living in aged care facilities. COVIDVIC19 has just highlighted the reality what for profit means. These are people NOT commodities. Why has the for profit sector gone unchecked for so long? Bowenchris and your proof being or is the truth just a bit inconvenient at the moment Bowenchris Bowen was a failed ‘try hard’ as shadow Treasurer and appears to be achieving the same failures as shadow Health Minister. The only problems in Agedcare homes in Victoria has been Dan Andrews incompetence in letting Covid escape quarantine to the community.
