Federal Labor MP Milton Dick said it was unedifying to see text messages between Gladys Berejiklian and Annastacia Palaszczuk in the media.

The Premiers have been in a public battle over the borders during the pandemic.

“We need Queensland and New South Wales to get along,” Mr Dick told Scott Emerson.

“I don’t think it’s edifying to see text messages between leaders in the newspapers.

“I don’t need to read about it.

“I don’t think that’s helpful, I think they are both strong leaders and they both have their states’ interests at heart.”
