Ms Brown was rushed to Sydney on August 10 to have two brain tumors removed. She survived the surgery against all odds but has been forced into hotel quarantine for two weeks before returning home. The Queensland government knocked back Ms Brown’s application to allow her to recover in quarantine back home, on her rural Queensland property despite an impassioned plea from her neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo.

Lol Sky News might want to check what the actual facts are..
Initially it was about flattening the curve. Now it’s stopping the spread - at any cost, even if it goes against complete common sense, expert medical advice and just basic human decency. The state premiers and chief health officers have all gone power mad. It’s disgusting.
GrumpyOLSoldier Yet this unelected bureaucrat and career medical administrator gives exemptions for yacht owners to come to QLD to have their yachts serviced! But not this patient? She is not an expert and QLDers need to wake up.
rationaliza This is disgraceful//NSW hospitals are for Our people not Queenslanders.
Maybe our politicians need brain surgery. Puts some common sense in there.
She’s obviously not famous enough. Famous people get an automatic exemption it seems. What’s someone recovering from brain surgery going to do exactly? Hold parties and go wild?
TheCalebBond Now being ruled by back room public servants - who do daily media conferences & provide cover for politicians.
TheCalebBond Disgraceful!!
What do you expect
Only a couple of months then these imbeciles will be gone.
Zero common sense here
The entire C19 response has been about the absence of brain power. No wonder they don't want someone proven to have a brain to ruin the narrative.
Disgusting. I'm ashamed to be a Queenslander.
If your not treating the patient how do you know what’s best for her unelected bureaucrat.
Dr Young, I only hope that you never need Brain surgery and the world's best Surgeon, makes himself, Not available!!!!!
Do these people train to have inhumane feelings and arrogance towards others or are they born this heartless. (maybe it's the Freemason demolay in them) 😳😠
Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young “has gone against, in my opinion, the best neurosurgeon in the world and his recommendation for his patient.” She does not have the proper qualifications
And this clown is the Chief Health Officer. The ALP’s have gone rogue. qldhealthnews AnnastaciaMP StevenJMiles PaulineHansonOz
Sorry Jane, if the great Dr Teo (who I dare say far out qualifies Ms Young) can’t reason with her then your only hope is to be a rich Victorian with a super yacht to obtain an exception from the Queensland Govt.
Jeanette Young is a soulless woman & she is way out of line here. Void of integrity she has failed in her duty to uphold the Hippocratic Oath. ashleyjadeepapara sababutton
So out of touch of reality these people sorry Nazis
But Jeanette Young is smarter and more powerful than anyone ( in her mind). The power has gone to her head. Science has little to do with it. Exemptions are decided on money and celebrity status.
Poor Jayne should change her last name to Fonda or Seymour, and she would have no issue to quarantine at home. Remember cLaUstrAPhObiA is Enough of a medical condition to Q at home for the elite. qldhospitalsforqlders makenoapologiesAna Sarcasm
A spineless Prime Minister and feckless premiers have handed Australia over to loathsome health bureaucrats.

Qld health bolsters mask mandate | Sky News AustraliaMask wearing has been made mandatory for anyone in a hospital across Greater Brisbane and Ipswich as Queensland health authorities work to curb the spread of a coronavirus cluster. \n\nVisitors, staff and patients were all required to don a mask inside a hospital as a cluster sourced to the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre was linked to 10 active cases, with 17 active cases recorded across the state. \n\nThe Chief Health Officer advised state residents to wear a mask in areas where maintaining a 1.5 metre distance was difficult, saying it would not necessarily prevent someone from transmitting the virus but it would reduce the risk. \n\nMore venues across Greater Brisbane have been added to the list of locations visited by coronavirus patients during their infectious period, including Calamvale Shopping Centre, Officeworks at Ipswich and a Coles at Forest Lake. \n\nHealth officials asked anyone who attended those venues during the same period as the infectious person to present themselves for testing if they develop the slightest symptoms. \n\nImage: AP And where is the science to back up that masks actually work? Or are you just taking people’s freedom like they have here in the US.

Albanese takes credit for govt coronavirus response | Sky News AustraliaOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese says the Labor party has used Australia’s democratic processes to force the Morrison government to implement the necessary measures to help people through the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nMr Albanese said the Labor party had two main responsibilities, to 'constructively work towards securing improved health and economic outcomes' and to 'hold the government to account'.\n\n“There are two themes behind our approach: during the pandemic; 'no one left behind' and during the recovery ‘no one held back’,” he said.\n\n“Whether it be the closure of borders, whether it be social distancing measures, whether it be testing and whether it be the search for a vaccination, on each and every issue Labor has been out there ahead of the government”.\n\nThe Opposition leader said Labor had sought to ensure no one had been held back in terms of health outcomes during the coronavirus crisis.\n\n“We argued the case for youth allowance, Austudy and ABSTUDY recipients to receive support and we got it.”\n\n“We argued the case for family allowance to take into account two-income families so that many more people got support and we got it”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia AlboMP Who? Who is this guy? 🤦♂️ AlboMP Exactly. So true. AlboMP each way, the elmer fudd of politics

Are we prepared for this one better than the last? stop stopping fire-brakes and burn-backs and they wont get out of hand , don't listen to the greens , they don't know a thing about the environment

Frydenberg 'concerned' about Andrews govt state of emergency law | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg says the Victorian government “has a lot of questions to answer” and he is concerned by Premier Daniel Andrews’ goal to extend emergency powers by a year.\n\nThe powers would allow the Victorian government to extend a state of emergency in four-week blocks for up to 12 months as well as greater powers to enforce mandatory quarantine, COVID safe plans for businesses and mandatory mask-wearing.\n\nMr Andrews defended the plan and argued getting back to normal 'won't ever be an option' if the state could not 'protect what it had already achieved'. \n\n“Victorians look at NSW and they ask, why not us,” Mr Frydenberg told parliament.\n\n“They look at New South Wales with lower number of cases and a lower number of deaths. \n\n“They look at the fact that in New South Wales there has been 315,000 jobs created in recent months.\n\n“I share those concerns, Mr Speaker, and the Victorian government has to explain its decision.\n\n“At the end of the day we will do everything to support Victorians get to the other side of this crisis, but the Victorian government has a lot of questions to answer.”\n JoshFrydenberg DanielAndrewsMP While Morrison sleeps.
