Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews plan to pressure the Prime Minister at the National Cabinet meeting today to approve two new quarantine centres in both states.
Queensland’s intake is currently capped at 1,000 arrivals per week, while Victoria’s is 1,310.
With the international border bans being extended to June, and around 40,000 Australians still stranded overseas, repatriation has become a mounting priority.
