Queensland Health revokes a coronavirus travel exemption for Melbourne multimillionaire Mark Simonds and six other people who cruised from Melbourne to the Gold Coast in a luxury yacht.
Earlier on Tuesday, Dr Young said the family had been granted a travel exemption to enter Queensland, but by Tuesday night it had been revoked.
In a statement, Queensland Health said new information had been provided which indicated the owner of the Lady Pamela obtained an exemption approval based on incomplete information.All seven people are now required to pay for 14 days quarantine in a government-approved hotel.NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said the state's emergency operations controller Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys would be looking it.
"Whether it is a protest or a person driving a truck or bringing a boat … people are suffering, we're all making some big lifestyle changes and we want everyone to be treated equally in this."Speaking at a media conference earlier, Dr Young said Queensland Health had given exemptions to anyone who has been on a sea vessel for 14 days and not visited a hotspot area during that time.
Dr Young said Queensland Health was working closely with Maritime Safety Queensland to ensure sea travellers had not been to coronavirus hotspots or, if they had, they were also required to enter hotel quarantine for 14 days.
