AMA tells critics to ‘back off’ Queensland over border disputes

Critics of Annastacia Palaszczuk’s besieged border policies have been told to “back off” by the nation’s peak medical body, as the Queensland deputy premier laughed off a campaign from Qantas by accusing the airline of “gouging” prices.

“We’re doing a very, very good job in this state. Probably because Queensland politicians are listening very carefully to a very well qualified physician,” said Dr Chris Perry, president of the Australian Medical Association’s Queensland arm.
