LNP Opposition Leader and Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 14, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington has called on the State Government to accelerate the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in regions without any active cases to protect local jobs and restart the economy.<\/p>\n

In a letter to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk,\u00a0 Mrs Frecklington said there was no reason why businesses in places such as the Wide Bay, Darling Downs, Townsville, Mackay and Central Queensland could not have a lifting of restrictions earlier, while maintaining appropriate social distancing and other mitigation measures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese regions are not covered in the Outback concessions and they are crying out for economic leadership,\u201d Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere must be a common-sense approach to easing restrictions and saving jobs in regional economies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cGeographically, most of this vast State has no active cases and there is an opportunity for regional economies to be fast-tracked out of lockdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, it\u2019s up to the Palaszczuk Government to decide where and how quickly restrictions are eased.<\/p>\n

\u201cA one-size-fits-all approach to lifting restrictions won\u2019t work in a State as large and diverse as Queensland and it doesn\u2019t make sense either.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis health crisis must not be allowed to become an economic crisis, with jobs needlessly lost in regional communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
