One person claimed they’d heard a Victorian caravaner in the town of Woodgate “bragging about getting over the QLD border on back roads”.
As 12pm ticked over and leisure travellers from all states except Victoria were allowed in to the Sunshine State, Ms Palaszczuk advised drivers could be sitting in traffic for around 3 hours as they wait to cross the newly-reopened border.
The Premier said there will be lengthy delays heading into the state over the course of the weekend, and warned that anyone feeling unwell should be cancelling their trip.“We know there will be lengthy delays. I have been saying all week to everybody, please plan your journey. Don’t be rushing across the border today because you will be sitting in the traffic for hours. If you can delay your journey, delay it.”Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has a big warning now that Queensland’s border is open.

Qld Labor 'abandons workers' by failing to approve Acland coal mine | Sky News AustraliaThe Queensland Labor party has abandoned its core constituency, the worker, in order to ingratiate itself with the Greens and the unions, according to Sky News host Peter Gleeson.\n\n“This is a political party that has lost its moral and ethical compass,” he said.\n\nA clear example of the shift in Labor comes from the Palaszczuk government which has allowed the state’s debt to approach $100 billion but continues to hire additional public servants, Mr Gleeson said.\n\n“Now, it is knocking back legitimate projects that create jobs” such as the Acland coal mine which has been tied up in legal proceedings for 13 years. \n\nMr Gleeson said the Labor government had promised to approve the mining development yet reneged on the decision after green activists appealed to the High Court.\n\nHere we have a government that is refusing the win-win decision to approve a project which would create much-needed jobs and extra royalties to help pay off its 'exorbitant debts'.\n\nThis ”terrible, hypocritical, under-performing” Labor government must be kicked out.\n\nImage: Getty
