Time to tear down Checkpoint Anna : Comments

By Tristan Prasser, published 29/5/2020

Queensland’s border closures are short-sighted and risk-averse based on little to no medical evidence and are only damaging the future prospects of the Sunshine state in a post-COVID-19 world.

Tearing down Anna should be the first move.

Yep.

Poor Queenslanders.

They need someone in control with self composure and vision.
EG our Glady in NSW.

I think in politics, you are a damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Nope! Just take a Bex and good lie down Tristin and focus on what you do at home!

The borders are also closed in WA, NT and SA! And the reason we've/they've put the brakes on covid-19.

And I get there's an election coming soon! And the reason for this, bah humbug, opinion piece?

Agree with you Alan,

The fastest way to get back to normal is to eradicate the virus. The Northern Territory is essentially back to normal, apart from large public gatherings, and they expect to allow them as well from June 5.

Most of the economic damage that Tristan Prasser is blaming on the Queensland government is actually due to people's fear of the virus.

That said, there is no reason why the states that have eradicated the virus - essentially all of them, apart from New South Wales and Victoria - cannot open up to each other, so Mr. Prasser could get a few Tasmanian tourists.

There is no way that people should be expected to die or be horribly disabled for the tourism industry.
