Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'Ath says the day five testing requirement for travellers entering the state will immediately be scrapped.
"The Chief Health Officer has advised us that the data that we have received just in the last 24 hours can show that we are only seeing about a 0.6 per cent positive cases coming from those day five tests," Ms D'Ath said during a media conference on Tuesday.
She said this means the day five test will no longer be required.
"And that means, immediately, starting from now ... anyone who is waiting in lines now for their day five test, can leave."
The Government had to choose between total control the people or money. Toughie.

Glad they know exactly what they are doing. They are so well-informed and the measures are so clearly necessary.
@fna7196 Says:
Nice….help your own state cope with long lines by removing day 5 testing requirement, but keep the lines long in other states with entrance requirement testing!! Seems like a deliberate strategy to reduce ‘Outsiders’ coming in to me. 🙄

Just a reminder to Australia, our rights come from God and being a human being and not you people who are in power there. Most tyrannical leaders are somehow in power at the right time for them to implement all this crap worldwide and make war on the people of the world. It will be a sight to see when the world unites against these dictatorial regimes everywhere. This is nonsense. And to people who comply, this is your fault: we told you from the beginning when they implemented masks that they will not stop with the mask; stop complying!!!

So basically we came up with a stupid idea, which created a predictable and obvious problem, and have now decided to scrap it. With Omicron now widespread in Queensland there is no valid scientific or health reason for ANY rules or restrictions regarding cross the Queensland border. Any 'rules' are nothing more than pure political theater to try and impressed local mindless morons (don't means to offend 50% of 'Queenslanders')

Australia was once a free country. The federal government has relinquished all control to the Fascist States.
Australia is now a continent divided into Fascist States.
Each Fascist State is Ruled by Dictatorship. Each Dictatorship has its own regulations of totalitarianism controlling the people and issues passports totally controlling every aspect of your life.
Each Fascist State will issue their own passports to subservient citizens. Only those who fully comply with the Credit Scoring system for Improving governments control over every aspect of your life will receive a passport.
The Fascist State passports will control every aspect of your life.
Where you can travel, what buildings you can enter, what you can and cannot purchase, what you can and cannot participate in, what Medical Treatment you can and cannot receive.
Your passports' status will be reviewed every six months.
Failure to maintain your Fascist States requirements rejection of one shot will have your passports cancelled.
You will then be Deemed a Citizen who does Not Comply to the Fascist States demands to hold a passport.
You will be "Severely Punished" for Not Complying.
Punishment will include but not limited to, in home Imprisonment, Severe travel restrictions, Medical Treatment Restrictions, Heavily fined and imprisonment.
Australia is now a "continent" divided into Fascist States Controlled by Dictatorship.
Liberals, Labor, the Nationals and the Greens are oppressors of the people and must be removed from parliament at the next election place them last.
POLITICIANS Exempt From Vaccinations.
Dictionary (exempt) Not having to obey a rule or do something that is necessary:
