Annastacia Palaszczuk has successfully advocated for a brutal and heartless halving of Australian quarantine spaces, making it even more difficult for Stranded Australians to return home.
Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles recently stated: "Every month, about 40,000 Australian citizens and about 6,000 permanent visa holders are allowed to leave the country. Many of them seek to return … rejoining the queue, going back through hotel quarantine, putting our community at risk. It turns out the only thing that's required to get a permit from the federal government to leave the country is proof you have a meeting in another country. It's not good enough that just because you can afford a business class flight or a charter flight you can breach our closed international borders."
Annastacia Palaszczuk recently stated her intent to take a space up in Hotel Quarantine on her return from the Tokyo Olympics on Q+A.
The people of Australia believe the Queensland Government should lead by example. We hereby petition for Annastacia Palaszczuk to be DENIED the right to leave Australia at this time until she increases Hotel Quarantine capacity to such an extent that she will not take up a space that could have gone to a Stranded Australian.
Annastacia Palaszczuk should not be allowed to steal a precious hotel quarantine space from a more deserving Stranded Australian trying to return home. DENY her the ability to do so.
