Confusion and uncertainty around Qld border reopening

Описание: The Palaszczuk government's decision to open up its borders to NSW, but restrict residents from Greater Sydney from travelling to Queensland is creating confusion and uncertainty for people intending to travel north.

For those living outside of the Sydney basin, they may resume travel to Qld from November 3, but questions have been raised about what constitutes the permissible zone around the edges of Greater Sydney.

Residents would not be permitted to enter Qld if they had travelled to Sydney in a 14-day period unless they entered the state to attend Sydney Airport.

Sydneysiders are not restricted from travelling to regional parts of NSW, given the state has no restrictions internally, posing concerns about asymptomatic carriers of the virus.

The malleability of the Palaszczuk government's restrictions - including the re-closing of borders to NSW if cases entered Qld - has cast doubts on Prime Minister Scott Morrison's hopes of no internal borders by Christmas.
