Queensland will do ‘everything it can’ to let man see dying father

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says Queensland will do everything it can to allow a man to visit his dying father should New South Wales allow him to break his 14 days of hotel quarantine. The Queensland government has previously refused travel permits for Mark Kilian and Anneli Gericke despite the couple being fully vaccinated. They flew to Australia from the US to visit Mr Kilian’s 80-year-old father, who is dying of pancreatic cancer. “Dr Young and I had a lengthy discussion this morning and what we would like to see from the New South Wales government, and this is a matter for the NSW government,” Ms Palaszczuk said. “If they want to break the 14-day mandatory quarantine for this couple - and if can provide Dr Young with how they will safely be transferred from Sydney to the Gold Coast - we, of course, will do everything we can to facilitate the reunion with his father at the earliest convenience.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
