A Florida high school principal was fired for the second time on Monday over a comment he made to a student's parent last year regarding the Holocaust. The Palm Beach County School Board's vote on Monday morning reversed an earlier decision to reinstate Spanish River High School Principal William Latson after his dismissal.

Annastacia Palaszczuk has been slammed for refusing to reopen the Queensland border to Sydneysiders when community transmission throughout the country is so low.  Residents in the Harbour City have been told they're too high a risk to travel to the Sunshine State - despite the city recording just one new local COVID-19 case on Monday.  NSW residents who have been outside of Sydney for at least 14 days will be able to 'travel freely' to and from Queensland without quarantining from 1am on Tuesday. Residents from all other states - except for Victoria - are able to travel to Queensland without quarantining as they are not considered to come from 'COVID-19 hotspots'.  Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce issued a fresh warning to Ms Palaszczuk, telling her: 'sometimes the popular decision isn't the right one'.  The Queensland Premier says the decision to reopen the border will likely be made at the end of the month and will be based on advice from Chief Health
