A Gold Coast mother said she hasn’t seen her son in 10 weeks due to Queenland’s hard border policy is adding to the growing public outrage regarding lockdown measures.
The mother, identified as Simone, told 2GBFM how her attempts to gain a travel exemption for her son have been rejected by QLD health authorities, adding to a growing list of double-standards shown by state health authorities in recent months.
Only last week, QLD allowed more than 100 NRL stars and their families permission to enter the state.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt is labelling Queensland’s strict border policy a “profound moral failure”, and is calling on the government to review its actions in light of several families reporting extreme distress caused by state separation.
