I wasn't happy that Covid existed in the first place, but it did exist so hard decisions had to be made if we wanted the population of Qld to have freedom for some extra time.

It's just the way it had to be, most of the other states were in lock down anyway, So we had a choice of closing the border and staying free or opening the border and 1 month later putting us into hard lock down like Sydney and Melbourne, opening up to early wouldn't have achieved anything besides plunging us into the hard lock downs and mask wearing for months when we didn't need to be.

Most of Australia had a pretty good run because we shut our international border and kept the virus out, but once NSW was out of control we had to shut the Queensland border if we wanted that good run to continue for another 6 months, and it did.

Well you have to draw the line some where don't you, and we did have a travel bubble with northern NSW until outbreaks started happening there.
