Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has been slammed for putting politics and getting the AFL grand final ahead of the border opening.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said she had a “positive and constructive” conversation with the Queensland Premier earlier today about the state of their border, but predicts Ms Palaszczuk will not “relax” their borders any time soon.
Speaking to media on Thursday, Chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young says NSW must have 28 days of no community transmission for the border shutdown to be reversed. “I’ve tried to establish a positive relationship, but it’s a bit difficult when decisions are made without them even telling us,” she told radio host Ben Fordham.
“By putting Queenslanders first and closing the borders to COVID-19, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk made the necessary and difficult decisions needed to keep Queenslanders safe,” Ms Campbell reportedly wrote in the email.
