Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will be going to Japan in person
Petition with 30,000 signatures calling on her to be banned from going overseas
Ms Palaszczuk said only a state lockdown would stop her from going to Tokyo
Thousands of Australians have signed a petition demanding Annastacia Palaszczuk be banned from leaving the country to attend the Tokyo Olympics.
The Queensland Premier has insisted she needed to be in Japan to convince the International Olympic Committee that Brisbane should host the games in 2032.
But with Australians banned from travelling overseas for a holiday, or in many cases a business trip, until at least mid-2022, more than 7,000 people have signed a change.org petition protesting at her special travel privileges.
They want Australian Border Force to block Ms Palaszczuk from being able to leave Australia. The people of Australia believe the Queensland government should lead by example, the petition said.
