Swings and roundabouts in the shifting sands of Qld Govt advice. The two hour rule for maximum travel to home quarantine was mentioned when home quarantine was first foreshadowed, but then they came out with advice that only travel to home quarantine in certain LGAs would be permitted. Gold Coast and Moreton Bay was announced as in and Somerset where I live was announced as out. This meant that you could home quarantine in Coolangatta, 2 h 20 mins away from BNE, but not my place, 1 h 10 mins away. It was one of the things I ranted to my local member about and who knows, the rant may have done some good.
The no taxis or rideshares is a right royal PITA. Yeah they say I can get a contactless rental car from BNE home, but how do you get the rental car back, if you don't want a 14 day hire? Mrs Pineapple could drive it back, but can't show her licence if I rented it. And she'd have to get back somehow, where we have no public transport. She could quarantine, but why should she if I stay in our separate self contained apartment downstairs, with its own entrance.
Don't feel sorry for me, I'm waiting in NSW till 17 Dec and wearing the extra COVID-19 test before returning home. I don't expect too much clarity until about the day that starts. A small price for freedom.
