Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has promised voters will know on Friday when Queensland’s border will reopen to New South Wales, a day out from the state election.
The state’s roadmap pinpointed Sunday as the official reopening day depending on the level of community transmission below the border. NSW recorded one local case on Monday, however, it was linked to a known source.
AnnastaciaMP Do what you like missus, I don't care. I holidayed here in NSW this year and it was great. Don't think Qld will be the priority for us that it used to be.
AnnastaciaMP Nothing to do with politics at all 🙄!
AnnastaciaMP Anyone who says that AnnastaciaMP has not politicised border closures as a tool to get re-elected has rocks in their head.
AnnastaciaMP Does this mean she won’t know until Friday? Or will make a decision on Friday? Or knows now but just won’t say?
AnnastaciaMP I didn't know people from NSW could vote in Qld elections. More Murdoch BS. His fake news really does shovel it by the truck load.
AnnastaciaMP More unconstitutional border closures to ruin the state economy.
AnnastaciaMP Down Right Dirty politics..
AnnastaciaMP Decision based on science clearly.. nothing to do with politics
AnnastaciaMP Lol - how convenient
AnnastaciaMP Bet it will be a day after more like it.

‘Paralysis in decision making’: Jenny Mikakos hits out at ‘unnecessary’ delay | Sky News AustraliaFormer Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos has hit out at the Andrews government’s “paralysis in decision-making” as the Premier announces no new restrictions will be eased.\n\nPremier Daniel Andrews announced there are no major easing of restrictions for Melbourne after the state recorded seven new cases and no deaths in the last 24 hours.\n\n“We are not in a position to do that today because we have at least 1000 test results from that northern metropolitan outbreak that are in the labs,” Mr Andews said.\n\nMs Mikakos said the state has met the “under five threshold which some though was unachievable” and questioned the government’s decision to not reopen Melbourne on the same trajectory it previously laid out.\n\n“Six\u002Fseven of new cases are related to a known outbreak so the risk is manageable. The set reopening is gradual and safe so any delay is unnecessary,” she tweeted.\n\n“It’s paralysis in decision-making.”\n JennyMikakos No point hitting out now Jenny - would have meant more when you held office. JennyMikakos JennyMikakos What a load of lies... asked Sutton clearly why he approved the Cox plate crowd and not let open today, rattled off a incoherent answer... how is it possible Dan is still in power after so many blunders...hotel quarantine, contact tracing, lies about ADH availability, private sec

Biden is hiding because he’s scared of making ‘a stupid statement’: Trump | Sky News AustraliaPresident Trump has lampooned his Democratic opponent Joe Biden’s tendency to cut short campaigning, arguing the former vice president is keeping a low profile because he’s scared “of making a stupid statement'.\n\n‘Calling a lid’ is a colloquial term where the White House or a campaign confirms to reporters their candidate will not be out on the hustings for the rest of the day.\n\nMr Biden called an early lid on his campaign events for most of last week, despite the election only being nine days away.\n\nDuring a 90-minute stump speech in the state of New Hampshire, President Trump told his supporters Mr Biden does not have the stamina nor the mental acuity to be president.\n\n“Biden has the lid on again, I guess he figures if he keeps the lid on, he’s not going to make a stupid statement,” he said.\n\n“How about his oil comment (during Friday’s presidential debate) it took all the way to the end, he was doing okay, I wouldn’t say it was Winston Churchill, but he was doing alright, he was getting through it, and all of a sudden he said he wanted to transition (away from oil).\n\n“I said… are you listening Texas, are you listening, Pennsylvania?”\n realDonaldTrump JoeBiden In contrast to Trump who continually makes stupid statements realDonaldTrump JoeBiden Rather than keeping the stupidity tap flowing like 45? realDonaldTrump JoeBiden TRUMP : “I said… are you listening Texas, are you listening, Pennsylvania?” According to today's polls they are listening to Biden more.

Toll of veteran suicides 'continues to rise' in Australia | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Catherine McGregor says far too many Australian war veterans have taken their own lives in despair and are over-represented among young men “sleeping rough” in the nation’s major cities. \n\n“Those who have served on operations overseas know that the bonds forged among soldiers are powerful,” she said. \n\n“Sadly, for many, nothing fills the gap in their lives when they come home. More of our service men and women have taken their own lives in Australia than died in Afghanistan-by a factor of 10 to 1.\n\n“Yesterday marked the start of veterans’ mental health week. \n\n“It is a cause close to my heart. I led Australian soldiers on operations overseas twice and deployed three times. I bear no scars from my service, but many do.\n\n“Far too many have taken their own lives in despair. Veterans of recent conflicts are over-represented among young men sleeping rough in our major cities. Others have felt abandoned after leaving the service and trying to deal with a clumsy bureaucracy to access mental health support.”\n\nMs McGregor said the toll of suicides among veterans was continuing to rise in Australia. \n\n“It has been a tough year for everyone,” she said. \n\n“Most Australians are stressed and anxious about their future. But this week spare a thought for veterans and their families. And if you can support an accredited charity do so. \n\n“Lest we forget.”\n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support.\n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63\n\nLifeline 131 114\n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636 any left Morrison will kill with aged care, vets affairs policy, robodebt or other wars We can all thank the Australian defenceless for this I heard from a veteran in UK that their govt doesn't want to help them. They are seen as a threat because they love their country and people. Govt encorage and look after Ilegal immigrants as their existence threatens the indigenous population.

Australia needs initiatives 'specifically targeted to help men's mental health' | Sky News AustraliaPsychologist Tanveer Ahmed says if the Morrison government wants to make progress in their goal of zero suicide, they need to “target their funding to male specific initiatives”.\n\nFigures released earlier this week showed men are killing themselves at higher rates than ever before and were now almost four times more likely to commit suicide than women.\n\n“What we’re not doing is recognising that suicide is mostly a male problem and targeting funding, messaging and policy accordingly,” Mr Ahmed said. \n\n“There’s recognition when we talk about issues like domestic violence that women are predominantly the victims. \n\n“The same doesn't happen with suicide. How much of this is because we just can’t see males as victims?”\n \nMr Ahmed said the feminist answer to the issue of male suicide, parroted by many men, is that “blokes need to be more like women, more vulnerable, seeking help through traditional outlets like counselling”. \n\n“This view also seeps into our institutions,” he said. \n\n“Is this really the answer? Granted, traditional masculinity has taken a great hit with social and economic changes- work with the hands is not as common, men are no longer naturally seen as providers and protectors.\n\n“There should be an onus on organisations to target blokes better, go to where they are and also do a better job at recruiting men into care giving roles. \n\n“Mateship and peer support for example have deep roots into the Australian psyche. Male only spaces are important. We must resist the cultural pressures to feminise.\n\n“There aren’t easy answers or silver bullets, but this week’s suicide figures scream for a greater, more specific focus on men.”\n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support. \n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63 \n\nLifeline 131 114 \n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636\n Maybe get rid of your storm trooper police force as a start ...
