Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has been slammed for laughing after being asked when her struggling state would review its border closures.

IMG_2425-e1523204412848.jpg?fit=500,500&The Labor leader was asked at the weekend when Queensland would reopen its border, prompting her to laugh and say the end of the month.

When a reporter noted June 30 was just days away, CrystalHolidays she laughed again and said: 'Correct, yes, it will be the end of the month'. 

Her comments infuriated Queenslanders who accused her of making light of the border closures, which are costing the state's economy an estimated $16.7million every day.

Tourism operators in the Sunshine State are also being deprived of interstate visitors ahead of the July school holidays. 


















Her comments come as the state recorded no new cases of the coronavirus on Monday or over the weekend, while just two cases are still active (pictured: a car stopped at Tomewin, on the border of New South Wales and Queensland)
