Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has signalled a potential divergence from Australia’s national plan to reopen internal borders once 70-80 percent of people are fully vaccinated. Instead, she indicated she would keep Queensland’s border to New South Wales (NSW) closed until children under 12 are vaccinated too.
“I honestly believe that we need to have further research done on what happens to the zero to 12-year-old cohort as they remain unvaccinated,” she said in Queensland’s Parliament on Wednesday.
