The Prime Minister has issued a strong warning to Queensland and Western Australia to reopen their borders for travel in July.

The premiers of South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland have all refused to reopen their borders to interstate travellers, despite dwindling reports of new coronavirus cases.

The Prime Minister also addressed the July time frame again when speaking on radio today, saying it was the “time when interstate travel was supposed to be up and running again”. He said he’s “very much in favour of a safe zone between New Zealand and Australia” to boost the economy, particularly the tourism sector which has been badly affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Does he want his Hillsong mates to go to the convention. It boils down to loss of money if they will not open Hillsong loses money.

After weekend parades, doesn't have reason to keep borders closed anymore. In 2 weeks the second wave will start.

If the protests showed us anything, it's that the virus isn't a major concern, so open the country nd small business!

Help us Mr Morrison. Call it

Morrison wants everything open by July 10. Hillsong conference day already booked

vincentwight But not SA? Oh that’s right, we have a Liberal govt. FFS, ScottMorrisonMP is fucking transparent.

vincentwight Oooooo! I bet they are quaking in their boots... BoycottMurdoch

No state boarders should be closed now.

aconvict Are we bracing for a new wave after Protests or Holding up progress? This wanker has zero credibility. Changes his Story daily. Scumbaggo Dangerously incompetent and lethally deluded.

But the Liberal state South Australia is being left alone. They're still closed too! This is a stunt

Since we have thousands of protestors swarming close together, including at public train stations, it seems pointless keeping the border closed?

Scott Morrison is antifa.

I saw this 2 days ago why are you repeating it ?

Good

or you will do what! its all ok for him and his crew all fully employed on an income and perks paid for by the taxpayer to talk about travel interstate/os. remember 1+million are un employed or under emplyed and facing daily income stress wondering if they can pay bills etc.

Deal with that idiot Andrews to and his horrible agreement with China.

Just don’t gather in protest groups...

Let’s wait and see how many cases NSW and VIC have after the BLM march then think about it.

Perhaps if we organize a protest about the border closure in Qld the idiotic premier will approve it

You can issue what you like, still NOT up to you

The words 'Scott Morrison ' & 'strong ' don't go together though.

No

Watching the premiers ignore Scott Morrison will never get old

open them NOW - nobody believes these lies anymore particularly after the weekend - the Qld premier and her father need to be investigated for corruption along with everyone around them

Stop the protests first!

F off PM leave the states alone. If they want to remain closed longer than they have the right. I don't blame them honestly if NSW didn't have such high Covid-19 cases then it wouldn't be so much of a problem.

Please open the borders so that he can participate in the annual kiddy fiddle convention. Brian's bitch.

Thanks for the invite. I am looking forward to eating dinner with you tomorrow night!

If you don't, he'll send in a protest march

Yer so you can watch them play rugga

No one cares what he says

Cut their fuckin GST

Shove your open border. Happy to be in WA . Maybe you get your community transmission over there in order first.

Dear Scumo. GF. You have no power over state governments. You are not a dictator regardless of the fact you think you are.

No one listens to scottyfrommarketing he's just full of prstunts prhotair prspin

They will open their borders because the voters saw yesterday’s protests and are fed up. Labor’s crooked little leader in QLD is toast.

Enough talk ... Pull fed funding ... watch them jump

Not fair only the Lefties can break the rules, just so mad about the regular folks wan't equality too, 😡😡. auspol

Yep, who is running this country? Tell these daft premiers to go fly a kite. Scott Morrison should take back his power.

They be doing him dirty about Hillsong 😂

Is there a Hillsong conference scheduled for that time?

Zzzzzzzzzz

Just in time for the Hillsong conference?

Honestly I prefer things the way they are. Not because I think it's necessary for covid or because I'm partisan like most of the people that support continuing closures but because anything that keeps New South Welchmen out can only be a good thing.

Wait so we have to open our borders but people aren’t allowed to march? I’m confused.

July sounds good for reopening only if cases are down otherwise stay shut !!!

He’s absolutely correct and the wankers on this thread making the usual leftist noises are not representative of majority thinking

So what about NT, SA and Tas? My gooodness you’re a hypocrite ScottMorrisonMP AUSPOL

These states should stand firm.

NOPE!!! I am so grateful that I live in W.A. KEEP OUR BORDERS CLOSED!

Ok so the states that have COVID-19 under control by closing their borders are expected to pander to the states who have open borders and still have community spread? It's not a smart suggestion and political suicide with it.

QueenslandersB1 You can go to gyms, protest. No one getting sick from supermarkets. But can’t go one holiday in Queensland and sit in the 1000s of empty resorts you could have 1000s come to Port Douglas and you will still be at less risk of virus than in a city.

Yes, I think is a very good idea to open the borders between QLD and WA....😉

QueenslandersB1 We need tourists now in Port Douglas

If they are COVID free staying isolated from the infected eastern states would be a god idea. THE NEW NORMAL.

Here's a thought ScottMorrisonMP - why don't NSW and Victoria close their borders until they get their coronavirus cases down, while the other states open their borders instead? auspol

Willing to let protests happen should open borders

Is there a Hillsong conference planned for that time?

When it’s safe to protest in NSW, we’ll open the border.

What? No! Get fucked!!

Scomo has no power in WA!

Oh no PM Morrison, competent Anna know better!!! Yeah right!!

Oh no PM Morrison, Competent Anna knows better!

In 3 weeks? He is dreaming

No! AnnastaciaMP stand firm we Qlders support you! Scomo don't you dare expect us to get sick so NSW and VIC can have a sunny holiday. Our state has nearly eliminated the virus. We're not turning back now. BACK OFF. ScottMorrisonMP

The states with the highest levels of covid have their borders open and we should follow them? yeah nah....we have it under control here in the west.

🖕

A lot of stupid selfish people on here who don’t care about people’s livelihoods.Get a grip there is hardly any virus left.

Reopen borders, reopen protest! blacklivesmatteraustralia schoolsreopening

If we had to go to war do they say NO !! Please we have too many governments and I think the PM should have the final call

Hillsong conference scheduled for July 10.

Agree

Protest all you like and spread that shit but dont open the borders

74Barbara Yes but for goodness sakes make it 1 direction only please, with all the QLD people returning from Melbourne, trapped back inside the QLD borders. Give our roads, parking spaces, rental properties and jobs back, please.

Fk off. Tell Vic to get their community spread shit under control before you start forcing that crap on us.

Hillsong conference somewhere!

Shut up Scotty.

Not until we're ready mate!!

Sth Australia? Tasmania?

Open your borders but don’t you dare go marching Across them. No.

Get off our sun drenched sand!

Sandgroper here - answer is NO

July sounds ok with no new craziness in June. I’m so grateful, with my whole family in the Uk,that QLD are playing it safe

Black lives don’t matter then eh

Tell him to F off.

No thanks 😊

hillsong is drawing nearer

👍

Scott can fuck off. What’s he going to do? Tell those states more strongly to open their borders? Shows his type of diplomatic style.

We are a federation of countries. He can't make them do anything.

Zzzzzzz

Scott Morrison compares Black Lives Matter protests to Anzac Day, urges Australians to show 'respect' and not attendPrime Minister Scott Morrison has invoked the shutdown of Anzac Day memorials due to coronavirus as he urged Australians to show respect and not attend protests against police brutality this weekend. Spare me the faux concern. Didn't seem to give a shit about respecting others safety when he wanted to go to his precious Hillsong Rally of thousands. And there was no comparison of ANZAC day when it came to the anti-vaxx protests last week. I do not recall any such request of Qanon, 5g or covid lockdown protesters. Did he not say that it was their democratic right? Go away.

Homebuyers grant: Scott Morrison’s HomeBuilder scheme pannedBattlers who will miss out on the new $25,000 HomeBuilder grant have lashed the Prime Minister for the “outrageous” handouts to the wealthy. Who is the scheme really for? You need a home valued at about $2-3 million to make it financially viable. Then you have to spend about or more than a years income (before tax) so you are eligible Looks nothing in it for the pensioners and families that have lost income. So, basically useless for pretty much everyone. Just means that if you are renovating now, you get to upgrade the inventory. Great scheme. 👍 It’s for the already wealthy

Productivity Commission savages vocational education systemAustralia's multi-billion dollar vocational education and training sector is further criticised, after Prime Minister Scott Morrison labelled it 'clunky and unresponsive'. Good old trade school which i did in the 1970's was the best thing i ever did, worked full time for 45 yrs, & no 'ok boomer' jokes lefties 😉😉. Amazing opportunities for young people like myself. LNP failure

An army of grey nomads is itching to head north for the winter, but the border pain isn't over yetThe bags are packed, caravans are being checked and convoys assembled as travellers prepare for Western Australia's Kimberley border to come down — but tourism operators there are still facing one big problem. Oh terrible times! The injustice faced by the grey nomads will be etched into history forever! 😂 I can’t afford to be a Grey Nomad ! The Nomads 1%er MC offered me a Patch but I can’t afford a bike and would probably kill myself on one if I could .. I’d join The Mongrel Mob 1%er WC ( Walking Club ) Yeah, my heart just bleeds for the grey nomads 🙄. Far more important issues right now.
