PM points to Queensland's 'double standards' over border exemptions
ByNatalie Oliveri09:36
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has hit out at Queensland's "double standards" around border entry exemptions, saying the situation needed to be "managed sensibly" and "compassionately".
He's being faced with a mandatory 14-day quarantine if he chooses to visit Queensland ahead of the state election on October 31.
But he won't be asking the premier for preferential treatment.
"I've never said the Queensland border should be taken down, what I've said is that it should be managed sensibly," Mr Morrison said.
"What I've said is that it should be managed compassionately."
He pointed to the case of an ACT woman who was denied permission to attend her father's funeral in Brisbane, with medical authorities pointing to the 28-day rule of states having no community transmission.
"Well, there had been more than 60 (days) in the ACT, so I think those issues raise questions… Issues of double standards regarding how others have been dealt with favourably in this process.
"That's for them to explain."
