‘People should stay in their own state’: Qld Premier

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has urged Australians to not visit the state for their holiday breaks. “We are coming up to a school break, it means we don’t want people from New South Wales or Victoria coming up here to Queensland, people should stay in their own state,” the premier said. “The Chief Health Officer has advised me there are serious health issues of people coming from other states to Queensland. “Unless you’re returning home to Queensland or you’re coming to Queensland for an essential purpose like work or a medical appointment…then the border is closed to you.” The Queensland border will close on Wednesday night at midnight to all non-essential travellers.
