Should we reopen Australia's state borders?

One of the most contentious issues of the pandemic has been Australia’s state border closures, with 3 out of 4 of us supporting them.  Where do you stand? The federal government and the NSW premier want the other states to open up their borders faster... but the WA and QLD premiers in particular are pushing back. Today we speak to Professor George Williams (Constitutional Expert) and Mechanic Chris Jobson, who lives in QLD but works in Tweed Heads NSW.

Today's news headlines:

• The Conflicting health advice on whether protestors should self-isolate
• Police Officer  who killed  George Floyd fronts court for the first time
• China's threat: Fall in tourists 'just the tip of the iceberg'
• US requests formal interview with Prince Andrew over Jeffrey Epstein

In today's Briefing we ask: Should we reopen Australia's state borders? What are the different travel restrictions in each state? What's it like to work across a border? Do Clive Palmer and Pauline Hanson have a chance of winning their case against the government not reopening the borders? What does the Australian Constitution say about this? How long can these measures survive?
