Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has urged the Australian federal government to keep army forces in place at state COVID-19 border checkpoints ahead of the state’s agreement with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) expiring on Sept. 30.

Palaszczuk says her state is being singled out as the ADF will remain in place at the New South Wales (NSW), South Australia, and the Northern Territory until Oct. 19.
