Queensland has announced it will keep its border closed to travellers from Victoria, but open it for people from all other states and territories from 10 July. reported 64 new cases on TuesdayFrom 10 July, people from Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, Northern Territory and the ACT will be allowed to enter Queensland after filling in a border declaration.
From 3 July, anyone who has travelled to Queensland from Victoria will not be allowed entry or will have to pay for quarantine in a hotel at their own expense. Premier Steven Marshall says the 20 July date to lift quarantine measures for Victoria, NSW and the ACT has been abandoned on the latest health advice.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has reiterated her government is not currently contemplating a closure of the NSW-Victoria border. Sports spectators trying to enter NSW stadiums from Wednesday are likely to be required to show their driver's licence to prove they're not from Victoria.
Is the border actually opening to everyone on July 10? Because when I look at the declaration form it says you still need a valid reason to enter the state of qld, you just visit for the sake of visiting.
I've never had a desire to go to queensland solely due to queenslanders. 😆
As an exempt traveller, what happens if I need to travel to QLD before the 10th? Will I have to still self isolate for 14 days Or just till the 10th?
I can't travel to the 1950's either. Oh well. QLD, the redneck bastard child of Australia.
Crappers
Cool. Was actually planning to travel to QLD later this year to support local tourism. Will now just be saving that money for when international travel opens up again
As a result, the federal government will have to consider further economic policies as businesses around the country are once again put on hold because of the pandemic. coronavirus COVID19Vic auspol
Queensland has always been our Fredo
Well done. Thankyou for keeping our borders closed
Victoria The rest of Australia
What if they travel from Vic to Qld via NSW?
we shall remember you QLD but you are welcome to our money when you have floods huh
New state number plates will read Victoria , the infected state
I wasn’t coming anyway
Finally! This one should have been obvious a week ago. Still opportunity to bring the date forward though. NSW I'm in two minds about, but definitely Victoria should not be touched with a 30ft pole at this point.

Queensland will reopen its borders on July 10, but not to VictoriansPremier Annastacia Palaszczuk said anyone who had travelled from Victoria, including Queensland residents, would be prevented from entering the state unless they quarantined at a hotel at their own expense. A very good balanced approach by a great leader... well done Queensland shows the way A great leader and a very good balanced approach... It has been hard for this leader with the PM and NSW leader pushing to open the states before the virus was under control Because Victorians are now the carney folk state, small hands and smell like cabbage, dont make eye contact and no sudden movements around them folks.

Queensland to strengthen border closure for Victoria amid COVID-19 spikeBREAKING: Queensland has announced it will REOPEN its borders to all states and territories except Victoria on July 10. Details here: COVID19 9News Bad idea. How is that going to work if the Vic NSW border is open? It's going to be quite funny when these other states get their 2nd wave. The state of Victoria reminds me of that time my primary school classmate shit himself during school and had to sit on his own at the back of the room.

Queensland 'unlikely' to re-open borders with Victoria from next month | Sky News AustraliaThe viability of the AFL season is in doubt with Annastacia Palaszczuk unlikely to allow Queensland’s borders to re-open any time soon with Victoria, according to Sky News Political editor Andrew Clennell.\n\nVictoria is grappling with the largest outbreak of COVID-19 cases in months.\n\nThe state recorded 75 new cases in the past 24 hours – the highest jump since March. \n\nThe Queensland government will not allow Victoria-based teams to travel to its state, forcing the AFL to make changes to its round five fixtures.\n\nMr Clennell said the situation in Victoria has cast doubt over whether Queensland will lift its border restrictions on July 10.\n\n“A greater concern out of this Victorian outbreak is what will happen with the state borders,” he said.\n \n“I expect a decision from Queensland on this in the next 24 hours on their original opening date of July 10. \n \n“But it is not looking good, with Annastacia Palaszczuk threatening the viability of the AFL season today by not even letting Melbourne based teams in without 14-day quarantining and the same for returning Queensland players.\n\n“There is no chance of the border reopening to Victoria when the decision is announced tomorrow as I understand it.\n \n“The question will be whether it is allowed to open to other states and even that is looking grim.” AFL AnnastaciaMP aclennell Good job AnnastaciaMP AFL AnnastaciaMP aclennell Isn't Clive Palmer and or Pauline Hanson off to the High Court to get them open? AFL AnnastaciaMP aclennell Just make the season a display season, no winners or losers of the cup.... no-one really cares at this point

SA Premier abandons July 20 reopening date | Sky News AustraliaSouth Australia will abandon its July 20 border reopening date. \n\nPremier Steven Marshall said he did not feel confident allowing Victorians into SA due to the state's recent surge in coronavirus cases. \n\nSA is already open to travellers from Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and Tasmania.\n\nState authorities said they intended to open borders to the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales but could not confirm when. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n So will the Murdoch/LNP crime gang go after the SA govt, or just the state Labor govts in QLD and VIC? Think we all know the answer. auspol2020 auspol Very wise decision. Why would you let someone you think might be infectious into your home? Wouldn’t you protect yourself and family? It’s only what the SA Goverment are doing, nothing to do with party politics, just common sense.

South Australia scraps plan to lift border restrictions on 20 July amid Victoria coronavirus spikeSouth Australia has scrapped plans to lift all its remaining border restrictions on July 20 because of the spike in Victorian cases. I sense AFL trouble looming. Can’t have Victorian clubs only playing in Victoria, when there are 8 interstate sides. Will season 2020 be shortened to less than 17 games. If so, there should be no GF. My partner is in Adelaide and I'm in Melbourne. Haven't seen her for 4 months already.😭covid19aus covid19vic To those planning to travel to SA post July 20 - both of you will have to hold off for now.

WA to keep borders closed, Queensland should think about the same, says AMAWestern Australia's chief health officer won't be advising the state government to reopen borders until Victoria's coronavirus numbers improve, while the AMA says Queensland should also consider keeping its border closed. Let Annastacia make her decision tomorrow don’t choose for her Overreacting is an understatement. Australia with this advice is heading for a depression of proportions. Behind the media headlines, the reality is there is only ONE person critically ill in the whole country. ONE. All the rest (a handful) require no serious treatment. RIP Good. We may have this virus in hand for now, but complacency and arrogance could easily see that change quickly. Caution is the only safe way forward, at least until there's a vaccine.
