Today, the Queensland Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, has announced that construction has begun on a fit-for-purpose quarantine facility at Wellcamp Airport in Toowoomba, one that will be up and running before the end of the year.

Isn't the only reason that Queensland has been forced to go it alone because the Prime Minister wouldn't do his job?
