Justine McNally, whose son was stuck at school in Queensland, feared she would not see him for Christmas due to the state’s strict borders.
Justine’s son Henry boards at a school in the Queensland city of Toowoomba, and lives in the New South Wales town of Pallamallawa. “We just fell out of the border bubble by about 10 kilometres,” Ms McNally told Sky News.
“So we were just going to end up with poor Hen' sitting back up at school whilst the rest of his cohort actually came back into the border bubble,” she said. “It was a fairly stressful time over the last couple of weeks.” Queensland Health recently granted exemptions for boarders needing to cross into New South Wales, meaning hundreds of kids will be reunited with their parents.

Queensland government withholding 'clarification' on student border exemptions | Sky News AustraliaRegional Education Minister Andrew Gee is calling on the Queensland government to provide clarity and a formal declaration on the border exemptions for boarding school students from New South Wales and the ACT. \n\nQueensland’s Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young granted travel exemptions to those students from NSW and ACT who had been separated from their families for many months due to the state’s strict border restrictions. \n\nThe ruling applied to boarding students from areas with no coronavirus cases and will allow them to return home without having to go into mandatory hotel quarantine. \n\nMr Gee told Sky News it was a “positive sign” but the Queensland government was yet to provide official confirmation of the changes. \n\n“So the parents and the kids up there are going, ‘well on the face of it, its great news’,” he said. \n\n“But how come the Queensland government hasn’t come out and clarified exactly what the position is and actually made a statement on it?\n\n“My concern is that it’s the new politics of COVID border closures in that these children and their families are just pawns in a wider political game and for the purpose of trying to save the skins of certain state governments.\n\n“I think we just have to have a common sense, caring and practical approach on this, but it needs to be a unified approach. \n\n“At the moment we’ve got a mish-mash of regulations, no one’s really sure what’s going and we just need some certainty and uniformity so the anguish of these students and parents can actually end.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n \n\n\n\n
