The near boarder communities have been complaining a lot, however I would have thought the loss in business from the NSW guys who can't come up into the bottom of QLD would roughly be off-set by the QLDers who normally headed just south to grab a feed, etc, so overall I would have thought there wasn't a huge impact on businesses due to the boarder closing.
It's just the general downturn that all businesses have copped due to the social distancing rule.
Get rid of the restrictions other than boarders and things will get back to somewhere near normal fairly soon for these guys.
Now, the businesses that rely on tourism, thats another kettle of fish and they will be stuffed for a long time.
No one going to the GC for holidays anytime soon either.
Go to the high court all you want, no chance the govt should open the boarders up IMO.

It's being led by Clive Palmer, so you know there must be a good reason for it. I'm not sure 'relevance deprivation syndrome' is within the High Court's jurisdiction, though.

Are they arguing all these restrictions are unconstitutional? They might have a case, not that the constitution stops governments these days
