Has Queensland's border war gone too far?
The Prime Minister has asked leading health officials to prioritise agreeing on a national coronavirus hotpot definition so he can use the advice to pressure the state premiers to open their borders. Mr Morrison intervened on Thursday on behalf of a 26-year-old Canberra woman who flew to Queensland too late to say goodbye to her dying father and was then locked in hotel quarantine on the day of his funeral. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is facing increasing backlash over the incident in light of the arrival of Hollywood actor Tom Hanks who is currently quarantining in a privately hired hotel with other members of his crew. In this episode, national editor Tory Maguire is joined by the Brisbane Times's political reporter Lydia Lynch to discuss how Queenslanders are feeling about the border wars.
