Why the border wars had to end

 It was a jolting juxtaposition.

Exactly 239 seconds after Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, her voice slightly cracking, revealed Queensland had its deadliest day of the pandemic, with six lives lost, she announced an end to the state’s controversial border restrictions

After almost two years, Queensland was finally open to the rest of Australia. No tests required, no border forms, no worries.

“It’s a big decision,” Palaszczuk conceded on Thursday.

“But it’s the decision that’s needed as we reach the peak of this Omicron wave.

“Operationally, the police are needed at the front line and they have done an absolutely superb job and we are so close to that 90 per cent that I am happy to bring forward that decision for 1am Saturday.”
