I was essential today which meant driving from the North Coast of NSW into south east Qld.
That meant getting a Qld Border Pass which also included a Negative Covid Test.
The Question asks, "Have you received a negative COVID-19 test result within 7 days prior to entering Queensland?"
Anyhow get the Border Pass, get the message I am Negative for Covid. All Good.
Get up to the Border, turn off to the M1 to the Hwy and onto the check point.
Mask on, and wait to be spoken to.
Where you going to? Where you come from? So your from a Red Zone.
Apparently Qld says any area outside the Border X Bubble you are in the Red Zone.
Have you had a Covid Test? Do you have the result? Can I see it please?
Just have to get my phone out. Yes that's okay.
Yep that's good. Now you just have to have the Covid Test done every three days.
What???
Later had a look through trying to find where it says Covid Tests ever three days. Spoke to the Boss and they know nothing about three days, even after speaking to Qld the day before.
I think about it and wonder, just what health data is any of this based on. I come from an Area that has had no Covid since April 2020.
From Friday Qld Government is mandating all fright drivers entering Qld to have at least one Covid Vaccine shot. People are arguing about an employer holding employees to ransom to be vaccinated to keep their job. Nothing said about Premier Palaceof&%) expecting drivers to get Vaccinated to keep their job. Is she going to compensate the driver or their family for complications from the Vaccine?
Further on the news they mention that Premier Palaceof*&%* is looking at further border closures to all freight unless the freight is essential to Queensland.
I can see the truck drivers just parking up south of the Border blockading the Highway. See how essential freight is.
For anyone that thinks your Qld Premier is protecting you and keeping you safe, NO, all she is doing is continuing your pain. There is NO such thing as COVID ZERO. Unless you want your State not just lockdown with everyone lockout and the rest of you locked in, never to leave again. COVID is not going away. Wake up.
