That's rubbish. Premiers acting like they don't want any more cases and that they're trying to eradicate the virus. That is not the plan.
This video footage on the news showed no cars at all being checked, so they were free flowing each way across the border, Workers or not.
I noted last weekend the QLD health website listed pretty much every council area in Melbourne and Greater Geelong as being a 'hot spot'. What blatant fear mongering. It's these pathetic organisations acting like every Melbourne citizen has it is what is the problem.
Let's get some realistic perspective here. 0.00029% of the Victorian population have or have had the virus yet we're all willing to ruin the country because of the ego's of some state Premiers.
I think you hit the nail on the head there @Brente1982 . It is whatever sells news. If you don't like what a state or government is doing, show only that film/video to enhance YOUR own idea of what should be happening. If you have a large yellow pass stuck to your front windscreen that can be seen from 50 metres or more, (see @Drover post on this), you obviously don't have to stop and check that vehicle, and this would not be seen from above. A similar exaggeration applies in the general news about "hot spots" whether they be big or little. Sensationalism is what sells and gets people interested - true or partially true. That is the way of the world at the moment. What cannot be denied is that Queensland has ONLY 2 persons active with Corona at the moment whilst Victoria has over 130 in the last week, not including another 40 odd today. That is something that cannot be denied! Whether that is correct is up to what you believe. We do not have those "hot spots" anywhere in Queensland but we do have a lot of businesses suffering because the border is closed as it is in West Australia. Whether this is the right course or not, correct or wrong, who knows. Tread your own path if you wish.
