Flew in this morning...not living my life dictated by politicians and scaremongering anymore😎😎😎🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🤫🤫🤫

Morrison government just playing with the future of students..they don't even know what problems students are facing.. since 1year is going to be crossed ..and they not even talk about a single word for students in their cabinet meetings LetUsBackToAus AlanTudgeMP..

No no no, can’t trust lipstick on a pig, shuts borders at the drop of a hat, doesn’t pay her debts to NSW, blames everyone else for everything.......yeah nah

For me Queensland is black listed been there and I have no reason to go back

Ahhh, no thanks..

No refund on accommodation ...... of course we’re coming 🍺👍

QLD barred us for months when NSW had small clusters. Now they have problems, they want us to go visit? Hmmmm...

This fella should really shouldn't be in the this position telling people to come to QLD when Brisbane is in lockdown ...... not even after the lockdown there going to lift the lockdown no matter what for Easter so money is coming in.........hey mayor careful covid is in town 😁

it woukd all be a lot more attractive to book a holiday given the risk, if refunds were guaranteed. They're not, and thats the operator's fault. Why would they think people will risk $1,000s probably $10k for a family holiday when there's no 100% refund. Or pay when you arrive?

Hang on a minute, talk about hyprocritcal pieces of sh.its, UK strain wouldn't be here if u did things right before flying c.unts home...soon u will tell us the UK strain was brought here by birds flying over from UK....F.uk off no one go to QLD for holidays lock down qld
