Queensland to close its border to all of NSW and ACT from Saturday

Queensland will close its border to NSW and the ACT this week after people continued to flout the state's mandatory quarantine.

From 1am on Saturday, returning Queenslanders will have to pay for 14-day mandatory hotel quarantine while all visitors will be denied entry, with rare exemptions.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the hard border lockdown is due to people deliberately flouting the law.
