BREAKING: Victorians have been banned from attending AFL and NRL games in NSW. Sporting fans will be asked to present ID upon entry as part of biosecurity measures.

Supporters will then have to bring identification when they arrive at the grounds, with any Victorian residents to be turned away.

‘‘By only allowing members in, we know their addresses, we know all their details, so we can safeguard against any Victorians getting in.’’ ‘‘And we’re quite satisfied they can make sure that supporters from Melbourne and Victoria are not coming to our games.‘‘They [the AFL and NRL] have satisfied me they have made all necessary measures and steps to ensure people who will be entering the stadium will be people who are from Sydney.’’

Travelling restrictions could mean a number of A-League and Super Rugby clubs relocate to NSW or the ACT indefinitely.

How is it actually guaranteed?

Thanks Dan

Should have been done weeks ago, in addition to police controlled border closures. It might be too late for NSW too.

Can we make this nationwide.... And permanent?

Australia is developing a caste system - like we see in India.

I thought he said it was ARL games. AFL should be fine.

Everyone now dislikes Victorians. Great work Dan, you’re the Covid man. DanielAndrewsMP

Don't f**k it up guys, you could end up like our shower of shite here in the UK 😢

OMG.... HAS ANYONE CHECKED ON TimSmithMP What's he calling GladysB koalakiller She let those BLM rallies like DanielAndrewsMP and now she won't let mexicans go to footy in her state.

We are the diseased redneck cousins from the south !!

NSW racism towards Victorians is despicable! 😷

Then just keep the borders closed!

Well. If Daniel Andrews has properly managed COVID in the first place this shit wouldn’t happen. I said when he started releasing restrictions that it was too early for Victoria...

Vics would now realise there is another world outside of there vic eccentric world. Welcome to planet earth

It should be Melbournians. The real Victoria is outside the cesspit called Melbourne. COVID19Aus

ThoseSkyrails No stress, I live here and wouldn't want to watch the Swans anyhow

Pathetic Australians fighting amongst each other grow up

NSW is not completely immune from Covid either. They just had a year 2 student infected with Covid.

Oh GladysB... You get all uppity, self-righteous & possibly even unconstitutional over a few pseudo hotspots in VIC - penalising the entire state. You muppet. Cases: 3,100 NSW / 1,900 VIC Deaths: 49 NSW / 20 VIC RubyPrincess debacle leading to deaths across Aus NewmarchHouse

No worries, I'll change my name to Ruby Princess, see you there

Not that I care, but this is probably illegal.

Ffs Victoria - your about to lose your GF at the G - I’ll never hear the end of it over here in the West, if that happens!

Wouldn’t want to raise the average IQ of the NRL crowd anyway.

Who would want to go anyway after the players bent the knee!! goodbye AFL for me AllLivesMattter

Shit house .... surely by late July when crowds are really back in nsw and nrl mad ex Sydney sider should be able to watch my team live

Victorians attending an NRL game? That’s hilarious !

🤣 us against the world, just how we like it bigv

The AFL would rather play the Grand Final in an empty MCG than let it leave there

Divide and conquer..we are so fkd

I’m proud to be a Victorian who has DanielAndrewsMP as our premier. His response to the virus had been consistent, clear and non-political in regards to public health . GO VICTORIA!!!

Why let them come to NSW in first place?

What happened to Australia?

'show me your papers'

Eddie banned from NSW? Bloody brilliant!

Now Victorians are mad at DanielAndrewsMP FINALLY! Only took taking away there beloved game! Cry me a river! COVID19Vic victoria nsw

OzSpam These people attending the football are a bunch of fools

This isn't NSW vs VIC or NRL vs AFL (both sports are rubbish anyway), this is about stopping transmission. Think about a stadium of people in close proximity containing numerous Covid-19 carriers. It's this blasé attitude that ensures further outbreaks.

Disgrace

Unconstitutional.

This is ironic given it was NSW who gave us the Ruby Princess and killed many Nursing home residents due to ineptitude.

That is statist.

Why are you so deranged

There are a few families in Melbourne’s north that people can go and complain to.

Let’s all jump on a road train up to Sydney and start a VLM protest in the CBD.

Not sure that would pass the Human Rights test!

Its all bullshit which has now escalated to lynch mob mentality fuelled by desperate politicians and oarts of the media.

There are people in Victoria that would want to attend an NRL game?

Victorians might want to start identifying as Australians to avoid persecution.

Probably shouldn't have opened the borders Gladys. Pretty bloody irresponsible call! Still you kept ScottyFromMarketin,g happy, so 👍

Unlawful discrimination

So has Gladyy semi closed NSW border

Why would you go to the crappy stadiums anyway? Rather wait for the G to be open next season

While everyone argues over the boarder the reality is this pandemic is still in its early stages and we are in for a long rough road. The conversation should be are we going to save capitalism once again without changing the shortfall of our healthcare and business sectors.

Good old New south ruby princess Stop the b/s pissing comp

We get it I actually agree but Victorians won’t forget how nsw treated them are they offering help ?

I’d rather get covid then go to an NRL match

Does anyone seriously attend the NRL anyway

Thanks DanielAndrewsMP we are now being treated as Leppers.

WTF, I thought the borders were open. This is Bullshit and NSW making coronavirus political. Let's see NSW cases 3159 and 48 deaths Victoria 1884 and 20 deaths

Ok so I’m a Member of both an AFL and NRL Club and you say we get priority with tickets but then say we’ll check licences and if you’re Victorian, you’re out!! I’m sure those Clubs would be happy with that. This is stupidity....

What about people from Lane Cove?

This is weak leadership on so many levels. Is Australia falling apart?

Victorians too busy protesting anyway

Looks like the rest of Australia is more worried about us than we are masshysteria

Bad news for both the Victorian NRL fans.

Victorians can do without football? No big deal?

Fair enough. We gotta sort our shit out down here

Lolz. So easy to circumvent...

All good, got my ID sorted

It isn't as if NSW fans are getting into games at the moment anyway

Why should people pay their taxes if they can’t enjoy the country they live in. Australia and its states is now ruled by totalitarian governments.

As a Victorian, I'm kind of loving how superior nsw are acting at the moment. It's almost as if they've forgotten about Newmarch house and the RubyPrincess entirely.

BRB digging out my old Tas drivers licence

Build the wall, keep the hipsters out

Sterlinho77

Just say you work on a liveexport ship. They can sail in and out of Australia without a care. Can’t they ScottMorrisonMP AlboMP

Fuck right off, NSW.

I thought we were a nation!

Ban Victorians but cruisers on ships with COVID-19 are welcome without testing....did someone say Princess?

Are children from NSW schools closed down due to Covid allowed to attend?! Asking for a friend...

what the?

Constitution 117. Rights of residents in States A subject of the Queen, resident in any State, shall not be subject in any other State to any disability or discrimination which would not be equally applicable to him if he were a subject of the Queen resident in such other State.

'We're all in this together' - when their states were affected, “You’re on your own” when the first state experiences resurgence. I hope you remember this for when there is an inevitable outbreak in your own state.

legalisetweed lmaoooo

Any lawyer want to challenge this?

Getting the vibe there is not a whole lot of love out there for Victorians at this time in Australia.

Who will go to the games - people from NSW don’t!

Victoria is the pariah state, no doubt about it.

Where is Pauline Hanson when we need her

That’s Statist nonsense that. Discrimination based on state is Un-Australian. The good news is we can blame this on Daniel Andrews

Oh come on... Victorian Lives Matter. They should have another protest this weekend. Because they can.
