Breaking: Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced all residents returning to NSW from Victoria must go into hotel quarantine for 14 days

He said he believed he was not defying the law and urged the Victorian government to provide more clarity around essential businesses.

She said she expected the people put into hotel quarantine would largely be returning NSW residents, with people granted permits for the limited compassionate reasons likely to be exempt. "It is essential that we find any as yet undetected chains of transmission and break them," she said. "I will leave it to individual parents to make that rather difficult judgement. I'll give you my example ... I have got a permit, I'm allowed to go to work.

Parents who falsely claim that they cannot look after their children at home face a $1652 fine for breaching stage four restrictions. And the Premier has not ruled out further penalities.

And pay, what, $3,000 for the privilege? Or has it gone up since then? Using a health crisis to squeeze the proles for money...disgraceful. Just disgraceful. Auspol Covid19Aus

Why so late?

How quickly NSW forgets THEY were the problem once. It’s a virus. You can’t stop a virus. It finds a way.

Start of locking down areas where positive results are found in clusters?

Fair enough.

Her Queensland counterpart should've informed her earlier.

I sure hope that takes care of the problem and I hope these hotels have weekly rates where they cannot afford to fork out hundreds of dollars per night.

Not with Gladys, I hope, jeez, now that's punishment. And that's her happy face😧

Always late

GladysB Sour faced old biddy She started this shit fight by letting the RubyPrincess dock. Now she blames every one else

Should have been like this long ago, no,have to hold off to see what side is winning the argument

Gladys taking her instructions from others.

The media poses her as a Madonna- I wonder how much money has been poured into some media outlets

About time

Well shit, shouldn’t this be done like, few weeks ago?

At last forward thinking 🤔

Now that’s what I call a closed border

Only after pressure from the public.

p_hannam Can NSWHealth normanswan ProfPCDoherty MarylouiseMcla1 KirbyInstitute ... anyone, explain why this is only necessary starting this week?

About time

GladysB how will this mandatory hotel quarantine affect returning citizens from abroad, your already low flight caps were apparently linked to hotel quarantine availability but suddenly you have rooms for unlimited Victorians?

She finally woke up!!

Nsw 1 locally acquired case with no known source...so it begins community cases are out there.

OUTSTANDING

When does this commence ?

WHy this is not in place to begin with baffles me, the whole reason the outbreak in Vic began was because u can't trust people to act responsibly, idiotic Glayds at it again, too little too late

Gladys is a stubborn old bat and will not be told. Everyone wanted this weeks ago but she never listens.

Stupid person, should have been done long ago!!

What vic residents ? Do they get a free pass?

Finally!

Finally !

The cost of 'suppressing' the virus surely exceeds a short term elimination strategy. We're an island! Let's take advantage of that

Read the link. You got it the other way around.

We all deserve the truth about the CCP virus. It’s not from the nature. So there will be second and third wave.

What amazing foresight! Where did she get this idea?

Haha.....Cannot even manage it’s own people and problems....rules that are not followed....😂😂😂

ABarrMLA We should do the same but for NSW

Hotel quarantine worked so well in Victoria that NSW has now adopted it. Earlier on, locals could self isolate at home. Wouldn't that be better to stop the cluster spread, as long as a proper home monitoring system was implemented?

Why not do it immediately? Just stop the planes temporarily to setup the procedures. We cannot take any more risk.GladysB

marywardy craigturnbull_ The GladysB government employed over the years many, many lenient wave-through bureaucrats (best known example the planning panels) so there should be no surprise that her departments are in disarray when confronted with strict instructions

So what about the “blue” zone around the border, those who cross it daily for school, work, healthcare? Those who live just outside the “blue” zone but still go over the border? What if there are not hotels in your country town?

Slow to act

Power lead to more death -_-

It's way too late... what were you thinking!

Elfvandel20 Amazed this hasn’t already happened!!

Should have been implemented 14 days ago why does she always delay the inevitable?

What about the ones who have already snuck through?

This should have been swift and unproblematic. Plane loads from an outbreak epicenter!

About bloody time.

If you want to be serious about the health warnings, NSW has to be protected from 17 daily flights from COVID-19 ravaged Melbourne!

k_r_n_o NSW independence

At last some common sense, I can’t believe earlier this morning she said it wasn’t necessary

How the hell wasnt this already the case?!

How is it that people are arriving by the planeload form Melbourne in to Sydney Airport - and allowed to hop in to a taxi and go where the please? This is insanity. Does NSW want what Victoria has? This will spread further up in to QLD. STOP this madness now.

Sensible... but suprising it was not part of a “border closure”

Geez mate you are a bit slow out of the blocks luv

Good

Way way too late but better late than never

Close the border FFS.
