Queensland’s updated border pass system will take effect at 1am tomorrow.

The new ‘traffic light’ system, which resembles Victoria’s, issues visitors with a green, amber, or red pass.

Green passes allow for free entry, amber passes are given to visitors who have been to an interstate exposure site and must quarantine, and red passes are for visitors who have been in a hotspot. Queensland residents will be the only ‘red pass’ holders with permission to enter the state.

Queensland Health says the form takes only three minutes to complete.

Moreton Bay Local Councillor Jodie Shipway said she welcomes the upgrade.

The United States will recognise Juneteenth as a new national holiday, after the bill was passed into law today.

Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the US which occurred on the 19th June 1865, where news of freedom finally reached slaves in Texas two months after the Confederates surrendered during the Civil War.

Democrat Representative Carolyn Maloney says, "I cannot think of a more important milestone to commemorate than the end of slavery in the United States."
