ie. Using the pandemic to buy into peoples fear by creating division and making those that live on the opposite side of an arbitrary line the other and therefore somone to fear purely as a ruse to bolster political standing prior to a state election.

Simple fear mongering for political gain is hurting innocent peoples lives as outlined in various posts and links above.

Denying access to emergency medical cases is unconscionable.
"Queensland hospitals are for Queenslanders" laid it all bare for everyone to see.
Making access easier is a step in the right direction but still insisting on two weeks quarantine from those that live as close to Brisbane as the Sunny Coast when accessing medical help is ridiculous.

Sorry, but I don't accept that.

Meanwhile, in Canada.

Professor Furness believes the border will have to stay closed until at least March 2021, when either a vaccine or herd immunity in the US will cause cases to decline.
"A vast majority of Canadians support keeping the border closed," he said.
"There is pressure from Americans who want the border to open, however, their self-awareness about risk and mitigation of COVID-19 is a lot lower than ours."

so Ian ,was the Stonehenge on the Station?

i know we are drifting again, blame that navy bloke Bob🤭

The Middleton is still going albeit up for sale. The octogenarian owner is wanting to move on.

AULRO group purchase, perhaps?

T'would be a fine place to provide a 'Self Isolation Property' (SIP) for any border hopping AULROvers. ​See, back on topic!

More cases found at the Brisbane youth detention centre. At this point it is believed the 77 year old woman has been linked to the two young girls who flew home to Brisbane and lied on their COVID pass. That could change.

Yep, popped in there recently.

A heads-up too, that the Toompine pub will be closed until this Christmas.

6 more cases, living in the following suburbs; Bundama, Carindale, Forest Lake, Marsden, & North Ipswich. Genomic testing is under way to determine the strain of the cases. The contact tracing teams have been active all night, Aged care homes have been closed down, hospitals have activated their COVID plans, and residents of the greater Brisbane area are restricted to no more than 10 at home or in parks. Here we go, 7,000 tested thus far , and more testing sites opened up. Only 6 positives so far. Spare a thought for the Woman at the centre of this outbreak, she only had a headache.
