This Labor win has just proven our theory that those who have been largely unaffected by COVID, (ie not in tourism, hospitality, travel, airlines etc) are unwilling to accept any level of risk to their own little bubble moving forward.
Let hope that if a vaccine comes out it works to some degree!

Well, we will see WA closed until March to VIC and NSW their 28 day demand will not be met. I really wish Gladys would also play hard ball and only allow NSW resident enter internationally. If you’re QLD, WA, VIC or anywhere else you enter via that state border.

I'm not surprised the heartless Palachook got back in, she rode the Covid bull**** fear wave right up to the sheeples doors to create hysteria , she's one cunning politician!
Australia us such a divided country, there's no unity, that's our biggest issue as a nation!

Don’t right wingers criticise lefties for not listening to the “silent majority” and labelling their opponents as “deplorables”? You’ve basically done the same. When you work with a leader instead of against them and don’t insult the voting public you’ll probably find you’ll be more successful.

Yes she won democracy is a brilliant thing, just like seniority not perfect but it’s the system we have. Good luck to the state of QLD moving forward I hope you can support your own local tourist industry. So far data has proven otherwise but we will see.

Deb Flek lost more than Queen P won - if you can't land a blow when the state's had years of mismanagement, financial decline and ongoing hardship (currently under the excuse of CV19) something's wrong.
So accepting she won the politics one simple Q: is her attitude doing the right thing by the state?? A basic Yes or No will suffice.
The politics is one thing, the direction and future of the state a totally separate matter.
I was thinking of using the word leadership but when you have a one trick pony saying "I saved you all from death, you must vote for me" stuff all leadership to be found IMHO.
On an unrelated topic - any bets on how long before Jackie Trad is found a suitable state government sinecure with appropriate salary/lurks and perks for the life of the government??
I'd guess probably around xmas/new year when the usual dump of releases/statements happens to a populace who are tuned out for the holidays.
Anyhow apparently Queenslanders reckon another 4 years of Queen P's the way to go for the state.
God bless 'em, good luck with that.

It’s almost like the majority of QLDers support the Premiers policy’s.
Most elections revolve around the respective leaders but in this almost one-issue poll, the incumbent Premier/PM is always going to have a head start.

Her father, the former member, was always referred to as pala chuck.
Spin drs thought pala chez sounded less foreign.
Vic screwed the pooch on quarantine as we all know. Quarantine does right works, nowhere should be afraid of repatriations and quarantine. If done right.
With no international flights to Melbourne or Darwin (apart from the Gov saving the day flights) that makes it impossible for people to fly to where they live if that’s home.

Nope, they should repatriate to their home state, thats their elected leader to raise the cap to allow them to been almost 8 months now time for other states to do their bit and stop hiding behind their false achievements. QLD, WA, TAS all took the easy options, as AP has said NSW is a bees d!ck away from an outbreak lets not let it get to that. NSW should not be left with the bill of residents of other states. I understand they pay for hotel, but NSW picks the tab up for testing, supply of law enforcement, bus hire the list goes on.

The government or rather lack of unity in government has caused this mess. One must quarantine where one lands, the only exception the very few international transits that can be approved. It is a cluster fcuk of huge proportions. The general Aussie doesn’t realise how bad the situation is. There are over 30,000 still registered with DFAT wanting to come home. Who knows the real numbers with not everyone registered with DFAT.
States are the ones who decide the caps not the feds, hence it is even more of a cluster. There is little unity, we have all seen it in the media, leaders blaming ScoMo and the other way around. Who’s on first?

I understand that. My point is, if Premiers want to spruce about keeping their residents “safe” well, the rules should change to reflect. NSW residents can only book a flight bound to Sydney. QLD residents can only book for Brisbane and Perth etc. I bet the mantra will change. End of the day why is Gladys worried about QLD, WA SA residents stuck over seas she doesn’t need their vote we all know Covid is now a political machine.
NSW now has the most active cases out of any state.

And that is why each state resident needs to fly directly to their capital city, of the cap is to low email your local MP and raise the issue, all other state residents go on our tally makes us look bad when in fact NSW is doing the best by a country mile.

Quarantine is in place for a reason, sure we can debate home quarantine and other methods but the gov has decided it hotel quarantine.
Australians stuck around the world just need to get home, who really cares where? Yes in an ideal world to where they want to go but that ain’t happening. Welcome them anywhere, do a little research and see the heartache many have gone though to get home.
Back to open borders -
It is great to see Aus opening up, bring on domestic tourism!
