The Prime Minister announced the code would be similar to the freight code introduced a fortnight ago and “deals with the practical issues of how those in the agricultural workforce are managing their activities across these brooders where they are in place”. Scott Morrison said the Queensland government decided to ease restrictions for those people coming out of hotspots who need to access health care. The state will also expand border zones in additional postcodes.
He said the move was “evidence of the working relationship that is there to deal with the practical issues on the ground of borders being put in place”. The Prime Minister said another key focus of the national cabinet was seeking clarification on the definition of a coronavirus hotspot. “There needs to be a clear medical and scientific definition of what that is,” he said.
About bloody time! Trucks and freight can just move across but our farmers have to jump through bureaucratic BS hoops to access their farms. The politicians and public servant numbskulls that cause this belong under the lid of a compost bin.
When the government realises that their communist laws may not fit the country, well we can just bend this one

PM to call for consistant border plan at National Cabinet today | Sky News AustraliaA border battle is continuing to bubble between the states as the Prime Minister seeks to create a more nationally consistent border plan at today's National Cabinet meeting.\n\nScott Morrison largely allowed states to determine what their border strategies would be as they worked to contain the spread of coronavirus, but frustration has grown among residents and businesses eager to begin moving interstate. \n\nQantas CEO Alan Joyce yesterday claimed border closures were politically motivated and called for greater clarity around intrastate and interstate travel to ensure the economy, namely in the tourism and aviation sector, could recover.\n\nNSW and Qld established a bubble for border town residents that required free movement for work and family reasons but many farming families have found it difficult to gain exemptions to access property outside the bubble.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia A tear of his leadership? No he has no responsibility Again your tweeter can't spell. It is 'consistent' not 'consistant'. Did none of you finish high school? And we like the border closed in Qld, thanks. Not opening up just so qantas et al can make money. Border battle beat up from economists. This is a Health issue where the economy just has to be second for now.

ScottMorrisonMP It's illegal, people have the right to refuse medical treatment. I know right wingers want us all to be puppets of the regime, 'for our own good' but forced medical care is illegal for people capable of decision making. In mental health and Aged care it may be different ScottMorrisonMP We're already on to his plan. He won't say it's mandatory, but he'll attempt to restrict us with regards, to work, travel, buying/selling etc etc just know we won't accept that. There are far far more of us than you guys. Ok.

Victoria is a national story of ‘incompetence, silliness and failure to listen’ | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Liberal MP David Davis says Premier Daniel Andrews is clearly embarrassed about his government’s failures in handling COVID-19 which is why he is lying.\n\nMr Davis said the premier “dodges and weaves” around questions with regard to hotel quarantine citing the ongoing inquiry as a justification.\n\n“He seeks to deflect any question. Of course he knows the answers, we all know he does,” Mr Davis told Sky News host Peter Gleeson.\n\nHe said the premier was “lying about the ADF” given he made public in March his knowledge of ADF support on offer for hotel quarantine.\n\n“He knew he won’t answer, it’s embarrassing.\n\n“I can understand him being embarrassed but this is far beyond the embarrassment of an MP or a premier. This has done tremendous damage. Deaths have occurred on a large scale in Victoria.\n\n“It’s now a national story of incompetence, bloody mindedness, silliness, and a failure to listen.”\n\nImage: Getty DavidDavisMP DanielAndrewsMP You want to have another try and tag the correct person?
