@JustJenKing @sjsmail Not sure what it’s like now but Saturday morning it only took about 10-15 minutes of moving slowly (no queuing) to get across the border.
@Graemeinnes@sjsmail You only need to fill out a border pass. No need to get a covid test. My family and I just crossed the border from Kingscliff this way on Saturday.
@AllenKruse@ParentsFamily@TonyHWindsor@MarkMcGowanMP Many people have been banned from reuniting with WA family, and will now never get the chance as those family members have died. Hard border closures come at a big cost to many people who will never recover from not being able to say goodbye to loved ones. Not a simple situation
@EmilyBruin1 So far my dad has been fine just showing his NHS (UK) vaccine certificate on the NHS app. We have only been in Kingscliff, NSW- not sure how we will go when we head into QLD.
Pandemics aren't fair.
Older people and those with underlying health conditions die.
Businesses close.
Families are separated.
You not being able to attend a coffee shop because you refuse a life saving vaccine is one of the least "unfair" things about this entire pandemic.
@DavidCrisafulli @AnnastaciaMP Thanks so much for slipping that extra cost in for my family and me to see my dad after 2 years. Already got to pay for two weeks accommodation in NSW as you won’t let him enter QLD at 80%#disgraceful
@adventure_ali_@MartySilkHack I rang the fever clinic at Tweed Hospital a couple of weeks ago and they said it’s free for everyone 🤔 We have known for a while that international arrivals can enter QLD after two weeks in another state (post 17th December) Confused why she is announcing it today?
@folzey @Claudia1111978 @karenandrewsmp@AusBorderForce@ScottMorrisonMP When I rang Home Affairs they told me people with exemptions were being prioritised but it’s rubbish as they are granting visas to people who haven’t even had chance to apply for one after submitting their visa request.
