Excitement as families finally set to reunite after Queensland border reopening
Melbourne community worker Greg Ferrington has devoted his year to helping struggling families survive the pandemic.
Key points:
- Greg Ferrington has not been able to see his mother and other family members for months due to Queensland’s border being shut
- Greg’s family is looking forward to an emotional reunion this week when he flies to Brisbane.
- The announcement the border was reopening came too late for some people to organise a Christmas reunion
He has pulled long hours, sometimes working seven days a week to ensure families who have lost their jobs have enough free food to get by.
During this stressful time, Greg has been separated from his own family in Queensland, including his elderly mother June Loye, who is a stroke survivor.
