NSW demands Queensland change ‘stupid’ Covid test rules as queues and delays grow

The NSW health minister, Brad Hazzard, blamed interstate travel requirements for a significant increase in demand on an already overwhelmed system and the lengthy delays.

Hazzard accused the Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, of “passive-aggressive stupidity” over the issue.

Wait times had blown out to the point the test results were no longer relevant, Hazzard said on Tuesday.

“It is taking up to four days, sometimes five days, to get test results.

“They might have been negative on day one when they had their test, but they could well be positive on day four or day five when they cross the border.
