CORONAVIRUS —
RESTRICTIONS — BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTEST
553. Hon COLIN TINCKNELL to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Health:
Given
that the government has no plans to stop the organised protest on the weekend,
if there is no significant outbreak or spread in the next two weeks as a
result of this mass gathering, will the government seriously consider opening
up the state border and allowing larger events to take place, such as football
matches?
Hon
ALANNA CLOHESY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
The government has adopted a phased
approach to the releasing of measures and will consider further relaxation of
restrictions in line with health advice following the evaluation of phase 3,
which commenced on 6 June 2020.
