NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has hinted the state could be released from lockdown earlier than expected as vaccination rates continue to climb.

According to the state’s vaccination rates at the time the roadmap out of lockdown was released, “freedom day” was expected to be Monday October 18.

“We’re feeling more and more confident that the dates we’ve previously assumed we might hit that double dose figure could actually be earlier,” Ms Berejiklian told reporters on Wednesday. When the 70 per cent target is reached the lockdown will be ended allowing residents to visit family and friends in small groups, visit hospitality venues, sporting events, gyms and hairdressers.

The NSW Government has now begun to plan a roadmap for what restrictions will remain at 80 per cent vaccination but the Premier confirmed there would definitely be more freedoms for those fully vaccinated.

Please come and lead Victoria

So unvaccinated people can go out and enjoy their lives in unlocked LGAs for the next month, but as soon as Glad Bags says so, they won't be allowed out. Makes precisely zero sense.

More than 100 on ventilators now and 24 passed away in the last 2 days...how many fully vaxed? 40%? Good grief.

It’s only freedom day if all restrictions are gone
