‘Forgotten Australians’: regional areas need solution to state border closures, David Littleproud says

Agricultural minister David Littleproud has made another plea for common sense" to prevail in regards to border restrictions, to clear a path for agricultural producers to navigate Australia's closed states.

The Queensland minister accused state politicians of making coronavirus restriction decisions around capital cities and not taking into account the impact on regional communities, which have so far escaped the brunt of the pandemic.
