Cairns Hospital declares 'code yellow' emergency after influx of COVID-19 patients from PNGOne of the biggest hospitals in Far North Queensland has declared a 'code yellow' emergency indicating it is nearing capacity as it treats six fly-in fly-out mine workers. Might be a good idea to get some of the vaccines to the Australian miners in PNG before more are infected Yet the Queensland premier, still thinks moving quarantine to the bush, where there are even more limited hospital beds is a great idea? Six people on top the normal load has resulted in an emergency declaration. 6. Not 60. Or 600. This speaks for itself. Underfunded hospitals.

Cairns woman hid in cane field after allegedly pursued by man with knifeA 27-year-old man will appear in Cairns Magistrates Court today facing eight domestic violence charges after allegedly pursuing a woman with a knife as she hid in a cane field.

'Holiday in your backyard': Cairns welcomes boost to tourism | Sky News AustraliaCairns is absolutely “stoked” after the federal government announced their plan to increase domestic tourism, according to Passions of Paradise Great Barrier Reef Tours CEO Scott Garden.\n\nAustralian travellers will soon have access to hundreds of thousands of half priced airline tickets under the Morrison government’s $1.2 billion stimulus package.\n\nMr Garden encourages all Australians to visit their “backyard” and support the local tourism industry.\n\n“Any business or anyone that can come from all over Australia we’re open arms and we welcome you”, he said.\n\n“Just visit your backyard, if you haven’t been to Queensland come up, here’s your chance to do it, if you want to go down to and sample some wines or up to Kakadu it’s lovely country just do it.”\n\n\n\n\n How will these ‘tourists’ pay for their holidays? Massive increases in unemployment coupled with decreased spending means that almost no-one will be able to afford it But then facts don’t matter to the LNP, just the announcements Maybe if our government can stop allowing states to close borders whenever they want we might all travel interstate. Cairn's hospital is code yellow dealing with Covid patients, so I steer clear of travelling (t)here.
