Not impressed. Still playing politics, this has nothing to do with health outcomes.

With respect, since day one you have been complaining about the closure of the border, particularly with respect to your work. What do you have to complain about with these changes? And considering this was decided in the National cabinet, whom do you suggest is playing politics. Fair dinkum, mate. That's all I want to say. Here is the new border zone. Where is the basis of your complaint?

What’s changed from 1:00 am Thursday 20 August?

Essential health care

You can enter Queensland by road, rail or air from a hotspot for essential health care without an exemption when the health care cannot be provided in the hotspot.
Essential health care is any:

• Queensland Children’s Hospital appointment confirmed in writing by the hospital
• appointment at a Queensland Hospital and Health Service or associated outreach location, confirmed in writing by the service
• appointment at a licensed Queensland private health facility or ancillary clinic or service, confirmed in writing by the service or health practitioner
• appointment at an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Health Service confirmed in writing by the service
• appointment with a prescribed health practitioner at another premises, confirmed in writing by the provider.
  
  Please note:An appointment with a prescribed health practitioner may include services provided by a registered NDIS provider under an agreed NDIS Plan. An appointment at an ancillary clinic or service may include an appointment at a rehabilitation service.

You will be required to comply with quarantine requirements in government‑arranged hotels should the medical facility be unable to quarantine you within their facility. Any stay within the government‑arranged hotel will be at your own expense however you will only be charged the nights used.
Border residents

There have been changes to the areas included in the border zone—view the updated border zone map (PDF). A border zone resident is someone who lives in a community on the Queensland New South Wales border. This includes both sides of the border – people who live in Queensland but work or go to school in their neighbouring border town, or people who live in New South Wales but come to work or school in their neighbouring border town in Queensland. Border zone residents can cross the border for any purpose.

And while we are at it Rick, would you please tell us how many days work you have missed from the border closure, and tell our Victorian friends about the hardships you have had to put up with.

There is a thought, something to think about when you don't have any thing else on your mind, Daniel.


If it was a few stops short Arap. would have to walk (assuming he still could of course) & that buggers the whole argument.

Ironically I was hit one stop away from the hospital. Very short ambulance trip.

So, given that you're in FNQ, when you say Mexicans, do you mean people in Brisbane?

Sounds like you got off light then, well apart from a busted leg.

My last journey down to the olde RAH cost $900 FFS! Time before was $800 ( 8km) Could have got a stretched Limo for less than that. Not much chop if I needed en route medical care, but boy o boy, think of the street cred.

Just needed an add on Mariachi Band to announce my arrival. Big sombreros an' all. Alas alas NIB wouldn't have paid for that.

Not so fast shipmate. The Merinos did have icy arses after all, & they had read you post about them being elite.

If FNQ had their way, they would be a separate State. Just a hint, Mexicans can mean an attitude, not just where you come from.

As a matter of fact here is the FNQ Anthem.
