Press Release
I am a Queenslander, born and bred, and not aligned with any political party. I am currently in mandatory hotel quarantine in Brisbane, day 8, for the crime of visiting NSW.
The actions of the Queensland Government since they closed the borders to all of NSW and the ACT on 8 August this year have truly sickened me. Children callously refused permission to see a dying parent, or to attend their funeral. A mother brutally prevented from seeing her son on his deathbed. Cancer victims, young and old, shown no mercy and scornfully turned away. And millions of people, including me, unable to travel freely around our own country, as the Australian Constitution gives us the unalienable right to do.
Annastacia Palaszczuk has shown everyone this week what she’s actually made of. The brutal, chilling disregard for the suffering of her fellow Australians is as shocking in a modern Australian political leader as it is reprehensible. Failing to intervene on behalf of a young woman who just wanted to attend her dad’s funeral; accusing the PM of bullying for asking her privately to do so, and then shamelessly absolving herself of all responsibility, and sheeting home all the blame to her hapless Chief Health Officer. How did it come to this?
Utterly, fundamentally, stunningly disgraceful behaviour, on every level. So unnecessary. So unedifying. So un-Australian.
Annastacia Palaszczuk is not worthy of the high office that she holds. We have these past days all witnessed indisputable proof that her character is deeply flawed. She is without mercy, without compassion, and she is destroying the very soul of Queensland.
She is heartless.
