One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has imposed a "deadline" of Thursday on the Queensland Labor government to lift border restrictions in the state or face a constitutional challenge to the closures in the High Court.lodged documents in the High Court on Monday to challenge Western Australia's border restrictions
She said she had given the Labor leader a deadline of Thursday to respond to a request to revoke the border ban before proceeding to the High Court.The High Court challenge, which has yet to be filed, would be led by Queensland law firm Mahoneys and NSW barrister Guy Reynolds, SC, who are expected to appear pro bono on behalf of a group of Queensland residents affected by the ban. The case would not be funded by taxpayers.
we expect to receive instructions to commence proceedings in the High Court of Australia seeking a declaration that the border ban is invalid." Ms Palaszczuk's office was contacted for comment on Tuesday night. However, her office referred to previous comments made by Ms Palaszczuk that trade has not been restricted by the lockdown, and borders were likely to be reopened before the High Court could resolve any dispute.
Hansons face looks more and more like an old catchers mitt every year.
Have you seen the polling? 2% 🤣
The sheer stupidity of this statement and action. Will she also be taking legal action against the Federal Government for the guidelines to take this action and all other states who are also still in lock down?
I think that is a mistake. We need to wait a while longer.
By the time the lawyers get to the HC the border restriction will most likely be lifted. Ha ha _ great waste of money and time. Pl. Can i hav sum fish an chips luv!!!!
She needs to show a bit of leadership for a change and support the governments that are trying to minimise the effects of the pandemic. It’s easy to carp from the sidelines but adds little to helping us get through this dilemma
Why is her bleating newsworthy?
Interesting. And obviously Pauline Hanson will take responsibility for whatever happens next ? How is it fair to pressure on the Premier like that ? Threaten with a lawsuit ? Come on.
Attagirl Pauline
I bet Anastasia is quaking in fear of the 'threat from The Red One'! 🤔🤯😷😷
Are you Ms Pauline, going to again unconditionally, going to support yours mates Coalition to one more for over 20 years legislating Industrial Relations to further punishing Workers rights, its well-been, keeping making workers worse off ?
There was precedent for Qld's action as the borders were closed during the 1918 pandemic.
So she's going to challenge it based on 117? The fact checkers say, Good Luck With That
Queensland can decide at election time qldpol Qldaah
Wow I bet the Premier is really worried about what that nutter is threatening
Will the low life take responsibility for the massive increase in deaths opening the borders too early will cause. No thought so
Shut up Pauline.
Pfftttt ..... what’s she going to pay for it with .... oh maybe we should follow the money .... One Nation voters are not known for their Lush Fund management ... Are Koch industries involved .... I smell a real story
Looks like Sky News will have to chip in again
stop listening to this woman
People vote for this idiot. gives her free advertising. Australia is a worse place for it. Why is it so?
Do we still listen to this woman?
Why people care about what she thinks?
This wretched bigoted woman has virtually no political power or significance. She will disappear into a forgotten swamp soon enough, so no point in wasting energy getting upset by her stupid stunts to get publicity.
Living proof that politicians should be subject to some kind of minimum selection criteria or else this is what we end up with.
Look at me.
Pauline always looking for a head line no talent just hanging on to her job
Bring it on ! Won’t win .
Using your own money PaulineHansonOz ? After all you have made plenty of money from taxpayers over decades haven’t you ? auspol
It's amazing how many people on here want the tourism sector in QLD to go broke which will bankrupt thousands of familys.
As if anyone with comment sense cares what she says
Dear PaulineHansonOz, you seem to be a tad tone deaf about what Queensland people want. Apart from the GoldCoast shrills, the rest of us want the border opened with NSW, Vic when they STOP having new cases. OK
Queensland Premier has abdicated responsibility to her chief medical officer she needs to step up to the plate and show some leadership. seeking the wisdom and advice of others is a good thing to do but it needs to be in the context of all the national advice.
This should have happened months ago. Who’s taking it to court?
SMH, you mean convicted criminal Pauline Hanson released from prison by a Labor Premier because he reasoned that she was too stupid to understand that she had committed fraud. That Pauline Hanson?
Pauline is a great white shark 🦈 - she loves the seafood - fish and chips to be exact!
Why bother repeating the utterances of this moron?
Poooorleeene is the LNP Coalition bomb thrower
The woman who planned to emigrate to England but returned to Australia because it was full of foreigners. Such a plonker. qldpol
MRobertsQLD
Why does Pauline hate the people of Qld. One would think that she would want to protect them from the virus not let people from other states infect the population. Most states have closed their borders to protect the people. Does Pauline want people to die.
This woman is without a doubt is as thick as two planks of wood! Time to go back to the fish and chip shop.
That's only one day. They're going to be screwed
So what?
FO
You lost me at Pauline Hanson says.... my husband just came downstairs ranting about her talking crap on TheTodayShow about Covid agreed with the fact she always talks crap my next question was why on earth would you watch channel 9 😳
I can see Annastacia Palaszczuk quaking in her boots as we speak.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Come in spinner ,domestic violence inquiry she was on was a scam & to avoid a pile on she trots out this shite to take the focus of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE . The media in this country are embrassing.
You just wish she’d keep self isolating
You's still have corona virus Pauline Hanson what don't you get
Rene' Artois has come back from the dead
Perhaps she should seek advice on prospects first.
Will that woman leave ANY positive legacy?
Who is paying for the high court challenge.
MRobertsQLD She is a true leader.
Oh get over yourself Pauline, Anna at least knows what she’s doing, you on the other hand contradicts yourself constAntly, first your saying close Australian borders, now open Qld borders, you’ll say anything to get your name in the paper 😂
Fir all those persons that want the borders to remain closed and this lockdown to continue, stay home! You wont notice any difference and everyone else can go about their buisness!
Yes and then we will be locked down for four months Pauline, this needs to be done carefully and slowly so what happens after every lifting of restrictions can be monitored - go back to your paddock PLEASE
As a Queenslander, I'd be happy if we made one exception for Pauline Hanson to cross the border and then quickly shut border again. She probably thinks coronavirus is a hoax.
Truthfully who will pay for the waste of time in the courts? Hanson really is a waste of time!
Someone's feeling a bit irrelevant are they? Hmmmm, better say something palpably stupid to get some attention
Cancerous boil Hanson.
PCKJ3627 AnnastaciaMP must be shaking in her shoes
Why do you bother with her... Hanson The Headline Hunting Harpy
Oh no. whatever shall we do
Oh ffs. What a waste of space she is
She’s worried the NRA won’t be able to ship guns
14,000 saved by lockdown? Pauline will soon fix that!
BREAKING: Relevance deprived redhead is back from her paddock
I think qld think they are dealing with the plague
Go back to deep frying fish and chips Poorlean 🙄
The virus will kill even dopes like Pawline Pantsdown, but don't tell her that!
She imposes everything legislations no burkas for muslim women ... get a drink or put her on meds to calm her down
Thats because thousands agree the border closure is a good idea!
None of her business! Worry about NT, VIC, WA- they are not open either!
Another poor decision from Pauline. Borders stop the spread.
What a great idea. Taxpayers always look forward to the day when one level of government sues another. We want you to sue each other more frequently because that's a great use of our money. auspol stupidisasstupiddoes
Oh gosh Pauline .. shush
I'm surprised she can spell constitutional.
it is amazing the coterie of RWNJs has remained out of sight, now things have started to ease they are popping up & are now all experts.
On ya Pauline, thank goodness for someone with balls enough to try to put an end to this madness
Oh, will it now Poorline? Why, pray tell? How? Because your bloviating backside says so - well, who gives a toss about that?! Auspol
Oh for heavens sake! How ridiculous!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
By you Pauline?
MRobertsQLD Oh shut up PaulineHansonOz
Oh Pauline you're challenged yourself
why only Queensland, and not NT,SA, WA and Tasmania?
Not bad coming from Hanson who has refused to download the CovidSafe App to assist in potentially opening up the country. Just more publicity & grandstanding from Hanson!
Looks like the Fairfax readers are ready to accept Big Brother Pauline.
'If you're seeing this... auspol
Pauline Hanson needs to sit the hell down and shut the F up! PaulineHansonOz auspol
Why only Queenland, Pauline?
She’s a muppet... Tassie and SA are still closed
Please explain
Get rid of all the states, absolute waste of taxpayer money
Hanson's Go Fund Me appeal for money to fight the QLD government is off to a slow start after 17 hours of being posted... $1,674 raised of $1,000,000 goal. 😆😆😆
Good luck finding the money to pay for it.
Who are you
Vexatious litigant?
I can bet my bottom money AnnastaciaMP won't back down
she is too stupid for words
Why is she still around. Surely she peaked on dancing with the stars?
He very handsome, is he Indian?
Only brain-dead people believe Pauline
Who cares!
