MORNING BRIEFING: Police are warning drivers to expect long delays on the New South Wales-Queensland border which reopened in the early hours of this morning.

Entry into Queensland is once again allowed after five months of border closures.

Fully-vaccinated border residents will be able to move freely although they will need to obtain a pass.Just under 1,800 homes went to auction over the past week, an 80 per cent increase on the same period last year.Property market research company CoreLogic estimates that clearance rates may dip below 60 per cent for the first time since August last year.The community is urged to stay vigilant during the festive season.

NSW Health's John Hall said large social gatherings were driving transmissions and urged everyone to stay vigilant."Get together outdoors for group celebrations, if celebrating indoors choose large well-ventilated spaces and open doors and windows. Anyone who was at The Argyle House nightclub from December 8 to December 9 is now considered a close contact.

It’s So gracious of her to allow this don’t you think. I mean we asked really nicely and we were such good boys and girls for getting our jabs and yes there’s a whole bunch or extra things to do and the bad boys and girls who haven’t been jabbed still in the naughty corner. Free?

Oh no! Southerners are coming.

People allowed to return today should be showing their anger at what has been done to them.

HEALTH FIRST and STAY SAFE.

Given AnnastaciaMP past record of keeping borders open, I wouldn't be trusting her right now. Better off going South knowing u will have no hassles getting home.

Should of happened 12 months ago......political games from Qld sacrificing their own.

Now we will have Palaszczuk acting like she’s done us a favour instead of, as she should be, a criminal being forced to hand back the stolen goods.

Cases on the rise from mostly vaccinated people. When will people see through the lies NSW Health is the most corrupt organisation in Australia. Keep your eyes on the ICU numbers people! We are not in winter at the moment so NSW Health can’t lie about the ICU numbers. Less numbers in hospital then yesterday but hey that doesn't fit the narrative of gloom and doom. Hospitalizations went from 158 to 150. Why don't you focus on that?
