I wouldn't be too worried about what some local rag tells you anyway. Just look up the Gov co website, clearly you have internet access.

The idea of pay for news is a bit rich considering they'll be getting the same info for free.

If you want to know more about the virus, the world health organisation website is also helpful, but not much info specific to Australia. More info about the current worldwide effect.

Don't worry, down Melbourne way, you can pay to get the virus from a Toorak doctor who didn't bother even checking himself out after showing signs of having a flu. Brilliant.

Your linking a private company website and its the government's fault?

Maybe use Google and add Queensland government?
