Straight out of the Bolshevik playbook 1920. This is permanent. As in you will need a pass/justify your movements so everyone can be under surveillance.It really is just quite ridiculous in our country now with all the mixed messages and from “ health experts” in all the different states.
The Qld boarder situation in particular is farcical.
Mate of mine traveled from the GC down to Byron Bay the other day. The idiot thought he’d just get waved through at the checkpoint on his way back because of his Qld number plates.
I’m listening on the phone as he approaches the boarder and hear the cop ask for his “permit”.
Doesn’t have one of course so he is directed to move to the side of road in another area where a ADF army chap comes up (with firearm) and starts guiding him through the process of getting the Qld gov CV19 boarder permit pass on his phone.
Five minutes later he’s on his way.
So...you can drive out of Qld and travel to Friggin Melbourne if you want and then cruise back in with your official pass.
Thousands are doing this daily from Brisbane and the GC into NSW.
But no one from other state can enter Qld in case they infect the population.
Absolute madness.
Meanwhile, thousands of Qld businesses involved in tourism are going to the wall and the economy in general is dying a slow death.
State health officials are now responsible for green lighting opening up measures as politicians are too scared to make decisions by themselves in case something goes wrong and they can’t pass the buck onto someone else.
Illegal thou. Police can ask your name and address and that's it. State border closures are illegal. They've skated through as the feds are handing the political fallout to the states
