'I don't know when he's coming back': Mum, 29, forced to raise her newborn daughter alone slams Annastacia Palaszczuk's border closure for keeping her FIFO husband trapped in Queensland

A young mother with a newborn baby has been left in limbo over when she will next be reunited with her mine worker husband due to Queensland's strict border restrictions.  Laura Goff, 29, and Chris Bennett, 27, welcomed their daughter Adalyn at the end of July in Wangi Wangi, Lake Macquarie, NSW.  But six weeks later, Mr Bennett, a fitter in mines at Moranbah in North Queensland, was forced to leave his loved ones behind to return to his week-on-week-off work schedule in north Queensland.  Queensland's mandatory $2,800 two-week hotel quarantine for anyone entering the state from NSW will make it impossible for the young father to return to see his family during his days off.    Lake Macquarie couple Laura Goff, 29, and Chris Bennett, 27, welcomed their daughter Adalyn (pictured together) to the world in July Ms Goff doesn't even know when she will see her husband again, and is grappling with raising and watching seven-week-old daughter Adalyn meet milestones on her own.  &#

Nik Edser , a wedding entertainer, has created a petition to Queensland Health in order to review the blanket rule on dancing at weddings Mr Edser told Daily Mail Aus
