In a daily press conference where the NSW government confirmed six new local cases of COVID-19, Ms Berejiklian said Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews had not made contact with her about potential areas of Sydney being able to travel to the southern state in the coming days.
“He‘s not been in touch with me at all but I also say that should have occurred quite a while back because we don’t have a hot spot in New South Wales,” Ms Berejiklian said of her Victorian counterpart. “I can‘t understand why the border was closed in the first place and why the attitude of certain governments is what it is,” Ms Berejiklian said.“So why shouldn’t people be able to return home? And why shouldn’t Australians be able to move around freely?”
The Victorian government has not confirmed if the six newly acquired cases in Sydney would change its timeline in easing border restrictions.
Gladys not in a real rush to go to Vic, Not crazy about swapping Manly for St Kildy yewwww 🤙
You are being paid from public coffers. Start doing your job
And she is totally right - stop waiting for NSW to fail to justify your punitive and destructive behaviour DanielAndrewsMP VictorianCHO MartinFoleyMP
Glad at least 1 premier has a sense of proportion.. NSW beats Vic on so many health/economy levels. She has a right to call out Dan’s mistakes, esp when they continue to hurt so many.
Well done Gladys .Showing how a state should be run .Unlike Dantoria.
The restrictions will continue to be progressively more tightly squeezed until things explode.
Lowest testing levels for a month, mass gatherings at beaches, malls and CBD with no social distancing, source of latest cluster unknown .... but hey, tell us Victoria should be run.
There are more people with HIV in Australia than the total number of Corona infections.
F*k up Gladys
She is the problem not the solution
Absolute garbage get ur mask on. Gold standard not. Dollars before health
Wait until the Syrian funeral in Western Sydney that had 1,000 in attendance and a few Covid cases blows up in a week 🤔 GladysB auspol
Achieving to the ZERO Covid_19 case is NOT proper way against the virus pandemic aspect of science. SkilledMigrants internationalstudents ScottMorrisonMP AnnastaciaMP UN DanielAndrewsMP AlexHawkeMP GregHuntMP
What a short memory she has...
Meanwhile Glady has a few million people muzzled in public
Damn right they should have. Oh hang on but tennis players with Covid are more of a top priority. Shame on Melbourne as this tournament should be cancelled
Tell her to get her own house in order first and to make sure she hasn’t given the key to her latest secret boyfriend.
If this stupid woman spent LESS TIME whining and whinging about other States and just DID HER FLIPPING JOB we'd all be better off. Or better still retire? She oozes corruption. GladysB
She didn’t seem to care when the shoe was on the other foot. Karma is a bitch Gladys.
honestly?
Denialism looks pretty ugly on Gladys! If NSW told the truth not only would the numbers look far worse but other states lockout far more reasonable.
I’d love to see the health advice that leaves Victorians stranded interstate, but allows AO to proceed.
No problem Just a Liberal bossing everyone about
Yep and so should wearing masks be gone.

State border closures a national 'embarrassment': Gladys Berejiklian | Sky News AustraliaThe New South Wales Premier has labelled state border closures an 'embarrassment' while addressing the Australian Financial Review Business Summit.\n\nGladys Berejiklian called for more courage from states and territories as the vaccine rollout reduces risk.\n\n'There was and is absolutely no reason for closing internal borders within Australia. The only time New South Wales did that was when Victoria had in excess of 180 cases per day, and because we have 55 checkpoints between our two borders,' she said.\n\n'On the notion there might be a case here and there, it is a complete overreaction. So I think we just need to accept now that at the end of three weeks of the vaccination, all the high-risk people have been vaccinated; it's reduced our risk.\n\n'It doesn't mean people won't get the virus or pass it on but the risk is massively diminished. There is no reason why internal borders should even be an issue. I think it's an embarrassment... I find it embarrassing within Australia. \n\n'We've got great international borders at the moment which are keeping the community safe. No excuse whatsoever for internal borders. I agree there should be some greater national consistency to give business greater confidence because even though I tell our citizens in NSW we will always keep our borders open... I can't control what other states do, but what other states do impact the decisions of my citizens.'\n\nMs Berejiklian also said the notion of every state creating its own different definition regarding coronavirus outbreaks 'defies logic', stating NSW has always maintained lockdowns and border closures should be the absolute last resort.\n\n'We now have between 75-80 per cent of our adult population on the Service NSW app - which is high penetration for a government within 12 months and we've already had about 120 million touch-ins of the QR Codes,' she said.\n\n'When you build the systems, you don't need to rely on those ad-hoc measures which hurt business, hurt citizens and Ruby Princess was an embarrassment. New March House was an embarrassment. Boyfriends can be an embarrassment. Pork barrelling apparently is not. Didn’t seem to stop WA economy. Poor tradesmen always blame their tools. The pro surfers are arriving for quarantine
