COVID Restrictions Cause Controversy Over Perceived Double Standard

Despite new COVID restrictions, the Palaszczuk government has not yet called for lockdown, with the NRL grand final match still set to go ahead this weekend. 

It’s a move that has prominent music figures once again criticising what they see as a double standard for the music industry compared to sports. 

Powderfinger bassist and Triffid owner, John Collins took to Facebook to voice criticism over new restrictions, saying: 

He’s struggling to understand the science that supports 40,000 people at Suncorp Stadium while the venues that he co-owns and manage have again been reduced to 15 per cent capacity
