The issue in that statement is: if we throw open the doors. That is not the plan. You need to make up your mind, Senator, whether you support the plan or not. I'll tell you that, on this side, there are serious questions as to whether Labor actually supports the plan or not. Does Labor support the plan? The Premier of Queensland, who clearly doesn't support the plan, is more interested in fighting the federal election than supporting Australians through COVID. A three-year-old child can't go and see their mum because of the approach that the Labor Party's taking in Queensland. It is outrageous! NRL players and their wives can go. A three-year-old child can't go to Queensland to see their parents. It is completely outrageous what is being proposed. So Labor needs to make up its mind. Do they support the national plan or not?
