FIRM STAND: Annastacia Palaszczuk says she won't review Queensland's border restrictions

Annastacia Palaszczuk says she would not revisit Queensland’s border restrictions until the end of the month, despite the declaration by the New South Wales government that her border with Victoria will be abolished on November 23.

The Queensland Premier, newly re-elected, maintained that it would not consider opening borders to Greater Sydney and Victoria early on.

“I have said all along that we will review those decisions at the end of the month,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

“The Chief Health Officer will provide that advice to us and we will take that advice.”

Dr Young will closely track group transmission in hotspots and whether the curve will continue to flatten Victoria, Ms Palaszczuk said.

“They’re coming out of lockdown so we are going to be looking very carefully over the course of November to see how they go,” she said.

“It’s worked well, we’re going to listen to Dr Young, we’re going to continue to listen to Dr Young and we’ll do whatever she says in terms of the next steps.”
