Naughty slow QLD LGA’s getting a good smacking from our Premier!
Honestly it’s a nice refreshing change that there’s no more shrieking at NSW for spreading the virus everywhere and now it’s at our slow uptake of the vaccine. Great. Get it done!

Annastacia Palaszczuk zeros in on unvaccinated regions as shocking vaccine lag is revealed
The Queensland Premier has threatened regional towns with localised lockdowns if they do not radically speed up their vaccination rate, as it’s revealed one town won’t hit the 80 per cent vaccination target until June next year.
At its current rate, Cherbourg, a small town near the Wondai State Forest, about 250km from Brisbane, will not hit 80 per cent for another eight months.
Only 32.3 per cent of residents had received even a first dose, with the second dose rate sitting below 25 per cent.
She said the state’s borders would be open for fully vaccinated interstate travellers from December 17 – or when the state hits an 80 per cent double-dosed vaccinated rate, whichever comes first.
The Premier threatened lockdowns will return in regional areas if they did not get their jab rates up.
