BTW, when is stalag Queensland opening its borders again?
Victoria and NSW haven't sent all their deplorables to you yet.
Maybe that's why the protests have fizzled out.
Why protest lockdowns in your own state, when you can move to a state without them (fingers crossed for the next few days).
For the moment, the plan in QLD is still to open up when the state reaches 80% of the population being double vaccinated. Some people in the state government (and probably some of the general population as well) would like to hold off a bit longer, either until vaccination numbers are even higher, or until case numbers in NSW and Victoria have decreased more. Others will want to open up in time for Christmas and the summer holidays. Time will tell what ends up happening here.
