“There’s been no real issues of community transmission identified [on buses] at this point,” he said.

“And of course, with the patronage down about 30 per cent on public transport generally, there’s a lot more social distancing than pre-pandemic. There has [also] been heightened cleaning.”

On Saturday, Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said it was inevitable that COVID-19 cases would cross the Queensland border from NSW, and she urged people to get vaccinated.

Anti-lockdown protesters gathered in cities across the country on Saturday, with police in Melbourne saying the rally there was so aggressive, officers had to shoot pepperball rounds into the crowd and use capsicum spray.

Police were injured during that protest and more than 200 people were arrested, while in Sydney 47 protesters were arrested.

In Brisbane, although thousands protested in the CBD, there were no arrests. However, Mr Miles slammed the rally, describing the protesters as “shameful and reckless”.

“That’s not the kind of behaviour Queenslanders do – it’s very un-Queensland-like,” he said.

“We have gotten through this because Queenslanders have done the right thing, we’ve kept each other safe.

“I’ve been to a lot of protests, have organised a lot of protests, I love a good protest, but now is not the time for protests, particularly not on the border.

“The border is our riskiest place right now. We have to see the situation in New South Wales the same way as we have seen the situation in other countries throughout this pandemic – that is the rate of infection there.”

Mr Miles said protests made the job of police harder and put their safety and that of the community at risk.

“Frankly, I’m pretty disgusted,” he said.
