The NSW government says it has continued to take a hardline approach to the threat of imported red fire ants, as Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty announced successful results for Operation Victa in recent days.

The long arm of the NSW law will reach into the world of insects this week, Solenopsis to be precise, as staff join a biosecurity compliance blitz on the NSW-Queensland Border to ensure that NSW remains free from fire ants.

A new outbreak of the highly invasive and potentially deadly fire ants has been discovered 5.5km from the NSW border at a pony club in Tallebudgera, says the Invasive Species Council (ISC).

Just before New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian gave her Coronavirus update at 11am, it was reported that Queensland has just announced that the border bubble with New South Wales will be reinstated, but not in the way many had hoped.

On Friday afternoon a virtual meeting was held by local politicians from both sides of the NSW/Queensland border who have united to establish a Tweed Cross Border Community Zone as a solution to combat the growing border crisis.

At today's press conference with NSW Deputy Premier, Mr Barialro said that it's clear from the language from the NSW Premier today, that vaccination is the key to all our freedoms going forward.

Police say a man will appear in court today charged after he allegedly attempted to cross into Queensland from NSW with 145kgs of cannabis in his vehicle.

The Queensland government says essential workers traveling into the state will need to have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine from Friday.

Queensland Health says that following yesterday's announcement of a state-wide lockdown in New South Wales, Queensland is requiring any New South Wales resident who lives anywhere in the border zone to only enter Queensland for essential reasons.

Anyone in NSW who has been in one or more of eleven particular Queensland local government areas since 21 July is required to stay at home for fourteen days from the date they were last in those areas, 'or until the notice is revoked', authorities said Monday.
