Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said she will travel to Tokyo and quarantine for fourteen days afterwards despite her government’s harsh criticism of international business trips during Covid.
State Deputy Premier Steven Miles the day before the Premier’s announcement said that people who can afford to charter flights for international business meetings were breaching international border restrictions and risking the health of the country.
The Premier pointed out Prime Minister Scott Morrison had recently gone overseas for business meetings and also that everyone crossing the international borders should be vaccinated as is she.
