Queensland to turn back Victorians while South Australia closes Victoria border

-
All Victorians will be turned away from the Queensland border from Friday.

A surge in new cases of COVID-19 has pushed the state government to harden its stance on visitors from the southern state.

"From noon, July 10, visitors from Victoria will no longer gain access or be able to quarantine in Queensland," Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said in a tweet on Thursday.


"They will be turned around."

No new cases of the disease have been recorded overnight.

 "I spent 15 years removing cats from fenced reserves and national parks," says Katherine Moseby. "And then, all of a sudden, I was putting them back in. It felt very strange to be doing that." It is a hot, intensely blue day in the Australian outback, about 350 miles (560km) north of Adelaide. I'm tagging along with Moseby as she checks the batteries on the motion-sensitive cameras that dot Arid Recovery, an ecosystem restoration project she and her husband launched in 1997. The project sprawls over 47 square miles (12,200 hectares) of red earth and scrub. It's entirely surrounded by a six-foot-tall fence, which is designed to keep out feral cats and foxes.  https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210324-assisting-evolution-how-much-should-we-help-species-adapt

 Canberra's WorkSafe watchdog has warned parents and carers to report any safety concerns at play centres after a boy fell off a rock-climbing structure last weekend. The child's mother, who asked to remain anonymous, said her nine-year-old fell at least 4.5 metres after he was disconnected from his safety harness at the Flip Out centre near Canberra Airport. The boy fell from what the centre calls its "clip and climb" structure, which WorkSafe ACT issued a prohibition notice to temporarily close after the incident. "I saw my son coming towards me with just blood everywhere, coming out all over his face and things," she said.
