In any case, not a great time to have your house on sale in a state with a Premier like Paluchet...
No NSW or Victoria refugee able to swap their 3bd dump for a palace here..my potential buyer market is gone...

This is good.

It will remove the inequities between the wealth of states.

Queensland and WA have been doing the heavy lifting with exports.

Vic and NSW exchange lattes between overseas students and tourists without any net gain to the rest of Australia.

Queensland is just a holiday destination for most Australians, like how Disney Land is a side attraction or Hawaii is a brief getaway to most Americans. No one sensible would want to live there, apart from Queenslanders themselves who know no better.

Have you got Clive Palmer up there at the moment? If so, please keep the border closed.

I wouldn't sell my holiday house there because even during good times, it would be a bargain and at least now it keeps the tradies busy repairing the roof each time there's a cyclone or torrential rain, and the swimming pool guy in a job to keep the leaves out of the pool. Ms Palacheille should keep that in mind because those less sympathetic would allow the place to get run down.

If they let more people in I’m a less chance of being one of the lucky 20 to get pub access....

Getting pub access to Emu bitter or Swan Lager hardly makes one "lucky."
Ever since the internet whenever looking for cheap XXXX we Queenslanders have instead discovered <not beer>, and Senator Hansen will be taking her concerns about this to the High Court. Rolling her eyes, she said that's "crossing the line," and she always dots her tease.

Have you heard of craft beer up that way yet
 
From a political point nothing better than a Labor WA state premier reminding a Liberal NSW premier what a cluster you have made........still Liberal WA state premiers pretty much do the same.

Is NSW's looking for a diversion?

At the moment in WA you can’t have more than 20 in a pub so I would think until that’s lifted I can understand the closed borders.

Its a pain! I now HAVE to get outa bed way before my usual wakeup time so I can be first in line at opening time. Cripes I was there at 9am the other day and there was 12 there already. :)
 
I should clarify for many of our less well cared for Australians who do not live in Queensland that Australia is a Federation.

Queensland has the right under Emergency legislation to close its borders to any state and for any length of time during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Queensland must do what is in its own interests first, and then in Australia's interest.

Our exports are vital to the economic security of the Commonwealth.

I mean exchanging a latte for a piece of flannel and selling education to students who filch research back to their home overseas countries is not what I would call useful commerce, as it seems to happen in Melbourne.

Having hordes of foreign tourists queuing ahead when I am trying to book in to the Sydney Suite at the Park Hyatt in Sydney is not my idea of a break. Bugger tourism.

Now the question is how can we overthrow our mentally deficient premier, can we approach the governor general to this purpose? as i doubt Qld labour will have the guts to do it.
If the labour at national level had any clue, they should intervene behind the scenes if only not to be associated with this disaster....
And then they look surprised at the last election by qld vote?
Rant over.definitively time to get out.

Can not say it better, i initially thought that the thread was the usual gg irony.i started having doubt lately
In a way, Paluchet is ensuring defeat for labour.there is a positive...

She's using the typical "divide and conquer" tactics. "Dirty foreigners" wanting to invade their pristine society, pretty Trumpian actually, surprising for a Labor Premier.

She'll be building a wall next.

Elections coming up for her and Trump.

Coincidence ?

I would vote trump but will not for her, she is the one who maintained the elections in the midst of the epidemy, and has always been following whatever was done in other states when the heat was on.
A pitiful example of human race and personal interest.in my opinion a lowlife but hey i am supposed to respect her and the corrupt Jackie as my representatives
Democracy is a bitch
 
outside of NSW (that's Newcastle SYDNEY Wollongong) axis, one of the state's biggest regional cities is economically integrated into Qld economy. Talking Tweed Heads Blues. Pop nudging 80,000.

Only got to see the traffic on the M1 (not coping with 2 -3 lanes, in normal times) and realise how it is a dormitory suburb. The border is an historical anachronism.

My brother lives 3km S and reckons the toxicity of Qlders visiting Tweed area but locals not able to go North is breeding huge resentments.
