Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate is holding firm in his bid for the Gold Coast to be excluded from lockdown despite one new exposure site in Southport.
Cr Tate has called for the Premier to drive a “ring of steel’ around Brisbane where most the state’s Delta cases are growing.
“If you applied the logic of possible exposure sites as a reason to lock down the second largest city in Queensland, you may as well lock down the entire state…Data drives the decision to lock down so the same data, or lack of it, should drive us out.”- Cr Tom Tate
