Border friction: New Zealand set to open for NSW, Victorian tourists before Queensland — The Sydney Morning Herald
apple.news
The Morrison government said it would not allow border bans to create an obstacle for flights to and from New Zealand.The closing of boarders was not for ‘fun’. They don’t want us not to be able to do the things we want. It’s being done to keep us safe and well. I am sick of hearing people dismiss the reason why we have ended up closed. It’s for a really good reason, so we don’t have people coming here and spreading them virus 🦠
The Premier needs to get with the program, the virus is going to be around for a long time yet let’s just keep to the social distance rules and bloody get on with business!
Good on her lives are more important

Our premier playing politics. Selfish bastard.
Chris Pullin from Noosa Keys Resort speaks out Sky News on Qld Premiers political stunt on keeping the Border closed until Sept. Clare Stewart Noosa Mayor ABC Sunshine Coast
Qld Premier doesn't know 'a damn thing, she's killing us': Tourism operator | Sky News Australia
www.skynews.com.au
Queensland tourism has been left suffering after Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk flagged a potential September date for reopening the borders, which is "going to kill tourism" according to Noosa tourism...The Sky News host Paul Murray says he’s happy to admit that Sky News after dark “is a Liberal echo chamber”.
Sky News is Liberal National Parties LNP and Pauline Hanson Back and The ABC is Labor and Greens Back I take both Network with a grain of salt 🧂
Sky News🙄 A Current Affair not interested? -/- Who are you trying to attract by appealing to that audience? Not good PR.
Just because the Noosa Mayor says it’s ok doesn’t mean we open our borders. The federal govt has stated that they leave the decision up to the states based on their own medical advice. I’m a business owner and yes it’s not ideal but the alternative is ending up like NSW has after stupid decisions from a stupid state government who is demanding we open up. The irony
Putting up an article by Sky News is an immediate warning light. Please could the Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry for some balance interview local Doctors and maybe the head of Noosa Hospital and ask them for their opinions on this matter.
You know what would "kill us". An outbreak in the shire and a return to full lockdown
Lives are more important good on her 👍
Our Executive has a great meeting at Zabe this morning, we were 4 of the 10 people allowed at any one time ... great to be back at ZabeSupport Local 👌

VISIT SUNSHINE COAST CEO RESIGNS
Visit Sunshine Coast Chief Executive Officer, Simon Latchford, has resigned after almost four years in the job.
Chair of Visit Sunshine Coast, David Ryan made the announcement this afternoon, saying Mr Latchford had played a critical role in building the region's tourism profile to what it is today.
The group didn't speculate on what lead to the resignation, only to say "Mr Latchford would now take an extended break with his family before considering his next career move."
Mr Latchford's Visit Sunshine Coast mobile phone is being answered by another staff member Gillian Turner.
Mr Ryan said the arrival of Covid-19 has stunted tourism growth, but thanks to Mr Latchford's efforts the region is extremely well-placed to bounce back when restrictions are relaxed.
"On behalf of the Visit Sunshine Coast Board we thank Simon for his contribution and wish him all the best in his future endeavours."
Mr Ryan said that a national campaign would be launched to seek a suitably qualified industry professional for the role of Chief Executive Officer.
More information please. An unusual time to resign.
Noosa Chamber of Commerce response to Noosa Mayors Letter to the Premier of Queensland.
For Immediate Release.
STARTS:
"The Noosa Chamber of Commerce (NCCI) commends Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart's letter to the Premier. "
The NCCI says the Mayor of Noosa is right to question the Premier of Qld on when the Border/s will be open again, we have been told for weeks and weeks (and many businesses and families of those employed have planned on the previous advice from the State Govt) that they would reopen the QLD Border in July 2020.
Then mysteriously after NSW asked Queensland to open the borders sooner, our Govt decided to push it back from July to September with no clear reasoning?
On behalf of the businesses and employees of Noosa we ask for the Health justification of this apparent 2 month extension as it is yet to be articulated by our State Premier.
The NCCI only wants for the safety of our community, but we do not want our economy to be used as a political football between two State Premiers.
This is not State of Origin, this is the livelihood of thousands of Noosa’s workers.
So we ask the Premier to explain why she has moved the goalposts from July to September when this is still May 2020.
The NCCI Executive has been in constant (daily) contact with the Mayor, the CEO and the Economic Development Dept of Noosa Council and can only say that the Mayor and all Noosa Council Staff hold the health of our community first and foremost.
However, we will not standby and watch the Premier in what is arguably a political act of brinkmanship that effects our Community for what appears to be political point scoring.
So Premier please explain yourself? "
ENDS.

The Mayor has the best interests of Noosa in mind.
So will a noosa hospitality establishment accept liability for anyone who catches and is injured or dies from Covid19 from someone from NSW or VIC who stayed at or dined at their establishment?
Omg we need the borders to stay closed qld is doing so well !!! Are people actually that stupid! Other states have so many more cases we need to keep positive she is doing the right thing keeping them shut!!!
Well done Clare all sound minded Noosa business and residents are behind you asking questions of the Premier about these stupid border restrictions!
Tom disagrees with Clare www.google.com/amp/s/amp.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/coronavirus-qld-glitter-strip-mayor-b...
We support the Mayor for her support and care for all Noosarians. Health, happiness and prosperity is deserved by all.
Will the Chamber of Commerce be requesting medical evidence from Clare Stewart Noosa Mayor for her statement or does this only apply to State Government members ?
