Palaszczuk govt faces increasing pressure to lift tight restrictions

almost 4 years in news

The Queensland Chamber of Commerce wants all restrictions removed for businesses, provided they adhere to the four square metre rule and there is no second wave as a result of protests at the weekend.

Upwards of 30,000 people attended Black Lives Matter protests in Brisbane on Saturday, prompting fears of a second wave of COVID-19.

Queensland's border closure also remain a point of contention for the state, with Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk unable to commit to a date for when they will be reopened.

The next key date for the state's roadmap to recovery is June 12, when 20 patrons will be allowed in venues.
