Hazzard warns Palaszczuk ‘it’s a silly game to be playing’

The NSW health minister has not held back on unleashing a scathing attack on Annastacia Palaszczuk’s decision to keep borders shut, calling it a “political move”.

“This is a silly game for her to be playing,” Brad Hazzard said.

It comes after the Queensland premier told NSW Health officials they had 48 hours to get to the bottom of 12 mystery COVID cases that had occurred in the last few days.

New South Wales Government should start building more coal fire & THORIUM REACTORS in New South Wales. Cheap electricity will lower the cost of living & cost of business in New South Wales. Watch our wealth grow while other states will be begging us to hook-up inter-connectors over the border to lower their power prices.

They NEED the thing to spread to stay in power.

Seriously, are the NSW population even concerned? On the Qld border business' will be affected as well as Qld tourism. Yes, she said Qld hospitals are Qlders (how very Australian). If the Qld govt doesn't know any better way to deal with this pandemic than with border closure (which applies to all those other than actors and sportspeople, not to mention the AFL grand final) then this hypocritical Qld Govt should be ousted!
