Queensland's Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has ruled out the state joining a proposed transtasman travel bubble. Palaszczuk today warned of "catastrophic" consequences if Australia's international borders are opened. However Palaszczuk insisted it was still too soon in the fight against coronavirus to commit to a trans-tasman bubble. Currently Kiwi travellers are only able to travel to New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory without needing to quarantine for two weeks. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has repeatedly stressed a cautious approach to the prospect of quarantine-free travel to Australia.
