Queenslanders will finally be able to hit up their favourite nightclub this Friday (July 3) and people couldn't be more excited.
After spending months in isolation, many have been itching to get back out there and bust a move and have a drink. However, in this post-pandemic Australia, things won't be like they were before, at least for a little while longer.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk revealed that if you're heading to the club this weekend or any time after Friday you'll have to stay at your table.
Gone are the days of being moshed together with potentially hundreds of other sweaty people on a dance floor while you accidentally spill your overpriced drink on the floor and lap up those sweet beats.

The Premier said people are welcome to enjoy their local nightclub again as long as they remain seated, where they can 'listen to the music' from their chair, as Premier Palaszczuk described.
Not sure how many people hit the club specifically and only for the music but okay.
After the new rule was announced yesterday, people couldn't help but mock it.
One person replied, saying: "Drugs will only be provided via table service."

Another added: "Surely a bit of line dancing would be safe. No need for contact. The DJs won't mind playing 'Achy Breaky Heart' over and over again."
A third wrote: "Stay seated at a nightclub? Yep that's not going to happen. When was the last time that the Premier attended one?"
People reckon the ruling is eerily reminiscent of the classic '80s film Footloose, where a small town banned dancing.
While the idea of bopping along to some techno beats on your seat is disheartening, at least the state's borders will be open to everyone (except Victoria) from July 10.

People arriving into the Sunshine State will have to sign a declaration form before they enter confirming they have not been to Victoria in the past fortnight. People who lie on the form can cop a fine of up to $4,000.
From 10 July, there will be a 100-person cap on public gatherings, which includes, house parties, funerals and gyms. Concert venues will be allowed to accomodate 50 per cent of their normal capacity and casinos have been given the green light to reopen.
