Queensland request for ADF help at border checkpoints knocked back
After police this week locked down the border to better screen for travellers coming from the Greater Sydney COVID-19 hotspot, a spokesman for Police Minister Mark Ryan said on Wednesday the call for renewed ADF help had been knocked back.
“The Queensland government asked the federal government for assistance but, disappointingly, that request was denied,” he said. A similar request from Victoria was also declined. The SES is helping police on the Queensland border.

The union was contacted for comment, while police directed questions to Mr Ryan’s office.
