Noosa locals give their thoughts on the border open date

Noosa Today journalists hit the main beach boardwalk to ask locals: Do you think the Queensland border should open on the proposed date of July 10?

Here’s what they had to say.

1. Harry Omelaniuk

“I think it should’ve been open two weeks ago. The curve has already flattened and the government is overreacting.”

2. Andrew and Janae Fowler

“Yes. I think it’s time as the amount of cases has gone down and most people are already getting through the border anyway.”

3. Nina Kneipp and Georgia Matthews

“I think it should be open sooner there’s barely any cases now anyway. The tourism impacts are massive.”4. Jade Carter

“I think it should be open now. People who want to cross the border are already doing so anyway.”5. Abby Duggan

“I think yes, so people are able to get to work and see family.”

6. Cherrie Hunt

“I don’t think they should let the New South Wales people in. They come and pinch our surf haha.”

7. Paul Glanfield

“I think they should leave it at that date. It’s all political and about the money.”
