COVID-19: Queensland border open to NSW from 1 November

That’s right, Queensland is seeing sense, economic necessity or electoral advantage in announcing that its borders will fully open to the people of NSW from Sunday 1 November 2020.

The Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk made the announcement at a press conference this morning. Interestingly, the New South Wales Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, said the first time she heard it was via the media after the press conference. So much for co-operation between Australian state Premiers!

This is another timely reminder to wear your seatbelt when seated. Holding you close to your seat will protect you from the sort of injuries sustained on this flight, when unsecured passengers flew to the ceiling of the aircraft, and then came crashing down once the ‘drop’ ceased.

The hope will be that this is an anomaly – a ‘freak accident’ in casual parlance. If it is a systemic error either mechanical or electronic, then this is a larger concern for the airlines that fly Boeing Dreamliner 787 aircraft. Let’s hope it isn’t. If it is, it will pile on the woes to Boeing’s existing stack.

Guess what I will spend doing this morning. Yes, booking flights and accommodation in Queensland, once I have negotiated the break with my husband!
