"Clearly hotel quarantine is an effective method of quarantining travellers returning to this country. Quite frankly, what premier Palaszczuk and her deputy Stephen Miles are doing is trying to create a distraction from their own quarantine failures. The reason that we are in lockdown here, particularly in South East Queensland, but also in parts of northern Queensland are because of failures by the Palaszczuk Government.
Firstly, for the mine worker that came in from Bendigo, they were a low risk individual, domestic traveller. They were put into hotel quarantine in a room between two high risk international travellers. And it would appear that as a result of that, that individual has contracted Covid.
There is also the failure of premier Palaszczuk and her deputy premier Stephen Miles to make sure that health workers in high risk areas are properly vaccinated. And that has led to a young worker being infected with Covid.
So clearly what Annastacia Palaszczuk is doing is making sure that she is doing as much as she possibly can to ensure that she puts up a smokescreen to hide the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of quarantine that is administered and managed by the Queensland Government.
Now, it is actually interesting to note that some days premier Palaszczuk and the Queensland state Labor government choose to push to have people enter this state. Particularly those people who are involved in film and television, who are involved in sports. But when they have their own failure that they can’t manage, they are very quick to jump up and down, try to blame the Commonwealth Government and then demand that borders be down or that caps be reduced."

"She’s arguing against her own travel to Tokyo. It will be interesting to see what Palaszczuk now has to say about whether or not she’s going to travel to Tokyo.”
