The Queensland Premier, who is over 50, says she got the Pfizer vaccine 'in the event she needs to travel to Tokyo for the Olympics'.

The premier is the last Australian state or territory leader over the age of 50 to get the jab.

Ms Palaszczuk said she had been offered the vaccine in March but had turned it down because she did not want to jump the queue. She advised Queenslanders to do the same, although the federal Department of Health advised the opposite order of shots.

Didn’t she have the vaccine already last year😡😡

That’s pathetic - does she really need to go to the Olympics ? Of course if we have already have had AZ can we go to Japan? 🧐

Why would she need to travel for the Olympics?

Of course, pfizer for the privileged

More bullshit

Best of luck competing in the rhythmic gymnastics!!

Don’t be fooled that’s a special retractable needle used at Hollywood movies 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻😢😢😢😢💉🐀

Aztra for the priveliged! Life is not fair!

Why does the premier need to go the olympics?

The bullfrog always gets what she wants!

Riiiiiiiight.

Ok time frame for 2nd

This comes as no surprise....

Is he paying her own expenses to attend the Tokyo Olympics or the taxpayers pay it?

Why ? … she doesn’t even look like an athlete…🤔

She travels to Tokyo is her own choice. Why would she allow for Pfizer?

Tone deaf.

SBS What ever happened to no foreign spectators?

Yeah what ever 🤦‍♀️

These people are only care for themselves. These Low lives are asking others to do what they would not do to their bodies.

To paraphrase Mel Brooks, ‘It’s good to be Queen’.

She got Pfizer because she didn't want to risk blood clot AZ. Pfizer for all over 50s now.

The PM is over 50 and had the Pfizer vaccine pretending to be an example to the public and that worked against him when he then announced AZ

She is 51.... Why Pfizer?

Doesn’t matter which vaccine you get, you can still contract COVID post vaccination, be asymptomatic & still be infectious - should just leave the Olympics to the athletes ae?!

SBS Over 49 years old , has to get AstraZeneca, that is promoting from Morrison govt. QLD premier told us have to get Pfizer who’s over 49 as well, don’t trust Morrison govt .

Haha of course! Tell her she gets a free OS trip and she will sell her soul let alone get the Covid jab. Maybe offer everyone in QLD a free trip and they'll also get the jab ASAP.

I might have to take a SpaceX rocket to the moon so me and my old mate elonmusk can spend some dogecoin cryptocurrency!!!!! 🤪🤪🧐😝😝😜😜

Everyone should have been offered the option for the Pfizer vaccination because it's efficacy is higher & the timeline to full protection is 4 weeks instead of 12 weeks. So frustrating

Oh my! Now we know ScottMorrisonMP used a bad excuse. Probably telling all pollies to get AZ

Wish I’d thought of that. Not impressed...

She must be in the pole vaulting.

Sight seeing in Tokyo can be infectious for politicians.

Great to be over 50 but under 50.

OK, I might need to go to Stockholm to collect a Nobel Prize so may I have Pfizer too, please?

I know it’s COVID times and all but I feel like the qualification requirements to the Olympic team have really been compromised here... 🤣

sorry not a good enough excuse for getting Avanza

SBS In the event that you do hey? For what possible reason would you be compelled to travel the Olympics I wonder? Would it be for the full two weeks by chance?

Essential travels to Tokyo when so many of us can’t leave to see ageing parents and relatives? tonedeaf

Nothing more to say really!

Can I go to Tokyo too please 🙋🏻‍♀️ I want to travel overseas...I’ve had the AZ and I’m not a politician is that a no?

For which event?

Plays right up to the “AZ is evil, we want Pfizer” narrative. Well done for further undermining public confidence

I mean at the very least use the opportunity get the AZ shot, to show confidence in that vaccine.

Why would she need to travel on the taxpayer money?

Why is she able to have the Pfizer vaccine when she is over 50

BS you just didn't want the AZ.

OMG SBS. Are you now trying to divide our society with vaccine brands? People don’t fall for this.

can i say a bad word ? can i say a bad word !!!

Scummo did too don't forget, as would the rest of the government. No AZ for them!

Excellent! 👏👏👏 Leading by example.. I want Pfizer!!

Why does a trip to Japan matter?

LOL what a complete knob this palletchook is!

Why just criticise her though, scummo had it before anyone else and is over 50

Baha bullshit

Haha so fu*king true!! Hypocrites and Ahole leading us!! Over 50 for my family Astra Zeneca and for their precious ass Pfizer!!

I would say that she left it to the last minute so that she could have the pfizer jab and another one in 3 wks. She must have known way back that she was going. If she had had the astra z. earlier, there would have been plenty of time for the second. See through that trick.

What possible reason would there be for the Premier of Qld to visit Japan - for any purpose - let alone the Olympics? Given the appalling Qld debt - why is this even being contemplated? AnnastaciaMP

Oh of course she did!!! They all get Pfizer. Hypocrites. And Tokyo is not essential travel either

Role modelling is important in a pandemic. Delayed vaccine for months then decided to take a vaccine others over 50 not eligible for. I read this as disorganised or AZ hesistant. Either is not a good look for a leader

Wow .......so all we have to say is I might want to go to Tokyo for the Olympics and we get Pfizer ? 😏

Why can’t other Australians over 50 get Pfizer ?

I’d like to travel to see my kids and grandkids too, but I can’t because I could only get the failed AZ. My PM wants me dead!

why the rest of 50+ can’t get Pfizer but politicians can ? ScottMorrisonMP GregHuntMP GladysB DanielAndrewsMP BradHazzard vaccination rate will go up if you let 50+ choose and take Pfizer, don’t delay, if you do , people die, and you are responsible AlboMP MinnsChris

She looks freaked out

'Needs to'? I though she would be well past Olympics athletics representation. They've banned overseas tourists anyway.

Not setting a good impression or showing leadership.

Over 50 and getting Pfizer Looks like you have options now over 50,s So happly fly into a Covid red zone where strandedaussies are.and then jump queue with 2200 australians back to australia on magical appearing quarrentine that not avalable to stranded How good is that auspol

'needs to travel' to the Olympics ? auspol

You can also get Pfizer if you have a PR team and you want a photo op. So there’s another possibility!

why can't other people over 50 get Pfizer then

Globalbiosec This is what is deeply wrong with Australia’s roll out. Prominent over 50 people in power making decisions about their peers have had Pfizer.

So Ana is anti-AZ, but isn't allowed to say it. So she shares it this way. I think she is trying to do what she perceives is right for the community. I respect this. Whether she's right or not wrt her views on AZ is a different matter, & is complex & depends on one's perspective.

Interesting to see some get preference on type of vaccine

SBS Unless she will be a last minute addition to the swim team, she has no reason to go to Tokyo. Excuse to avoid AZ and opt for Pfizer. Sends poor message to Qld over 50s. Auspol Covid19

Probs because Qld are trying to get the 2032 olympics. It sounds to me like they’ve said qld over 50s will be able to get an mRNA vacc in the 4th quarter. I’d rather Anastasia was properly vaccinated than she go with just the AZ, which there’s only time for her to have one off.

I’m over 50 why can’t I have Pfizer? 1 rule for some ay !!! Fuck the vaccine roll out if they want us to have it supply a vaccine that doesn’t involve a lottery! Gov dropped the ball on the nrma vacs we should be making them here by now. Astra unfortunately a bad choice.

😂😂😂

I got the pfizer too, and I need to travel to Australia to start my PhD, so can I travel to Australia?!?! InternationalStudentsAustralia

Bad planning, AZ is 12 weeks between shots. Before people with AZ option get upset - a reminder AZ is more effective against Delta. I think most politicians should get AZ (some are under 40 and just waiting for an option). If they’re over 50 they should get AZ and set an example

Fcking outrages !

I think give everyone over 40 the jab who wants a jab then open up completely. No lockdowns or restrictions. Those that get sick though, you had your chance.

Normalize giving over 50 the Pfizer vaccine. No need for explanation

Yeah, not a good look, and extremely tone-deaf to tweet about it.

Well that is certainly going to encourage over 50s to take AstraZeneca Or is it going to make them sit on the fence and wait for Pfizer

so why am I not allowed this option?

what?

Oh good I didn’t know that was a reason to get Pfizer - can I get it too in case I need to go to the Tokyo olympics?

I want the Pfizer but can't get it. Not happy Ana.

Go to hospital if you get severe headache. Meanwhile, you're 60% likely to reduce the symptoms of the virus by ... experiencing the symptoms of the virus.

FFS ! why would she need to go to the Olympics. Our Politicians are the biggest bunch of deadbeats on the planet
