Border closures ‘a shocking example of state delinquency’

Описание: Sky News host Chris Kenny says he has been against state border closures from the get-go as they’ve proven to be “a shocking example of delinquency of the states”.

“As a nation we have crushed the coronavirus pandemic, but Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory closed their borders to the largest states, Victoria and New South Wales,” he said.

Mr Kenny said states who shut their borders and impact businesses “are all for the nation when they want money or help, but all for their own provincial needs and parochial politics when it suits”.

He said “now the federal government is standing up” on the issue as the pressure is growing for states to open their borders after Attorney General Christian Porter indicated the commonwealth will take the issue to court.
