The NSW Coalition has reached an agreement on its controversial koala protection policy which threatened to derail the Berejiklian government.

The agreement will be taken to Cabinet next week. Sky News understands that while the koala policy boosts the number of protections for koalas, agricultural land and farmers are entirely exempt. “The NSW Liberal-National Coalition has been considering our policy in relation to the protection of koalas and what it means for all of NSW,” state Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.

“I’m very pleased to say that ahead of the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday that the NSW Coalition has rested on a very balanced, fair approach.” Acting Deputy Premier Paul Toole said that approach meant a balance between environmental protections and the rights of farmers and properties. “We’re close to actually landing a balanced outcome,” Mr Toole said.

NZ residents given green light to travel to NSW, NT | Sky News AustraliaThe federal government has today signed a trans-Tasman travel bubble which will allow New Zealand residents to travel to New South Wales and the Northern Territory without being required to quarantine.\n\nDeputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack announced the first step of the deal would come into effect from Friday, October 16. \n\nUnder the agreement, any New Zealand resident would be allowed to travel to NSW and NT on the proviso they have not been in a declared COVID hotspot in the 14 days prior to leaving. \n\n“I know that New South Wales, Premier Gladys Berejiklian and I know that the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory Michael Gunner welcome this indeed,” Mr McCormack said. \n\n“I have just gotten off the phone with Chief Minister Gunner who says the fish are biting and the beers are cold'. \n\nHe revealed the agreement was open to any other state or territory that enforced travel restrictions which were in line with the Commonwealth hotspot definition. \n\n'Everything we have done, we have taken, we have heeded that advice and we do so again today on the basis that the hot spot definition is robust and proportionate as of course, it has to be, the Commonwealth is comfortable in recommending that these people not be placed in mandatory quarantine,' he said. \n\n'I am very pleased that Scott Morrison has been able to arrange this, I know that it will be welcomed with our New Zealand friends and I know that it is certainly being welcomed by those people in New South Wales, in the Northern Territory in particular.' \n\n Congrats to both PM'S. 👍 Some help for tourism in Nsw & NT. Great when do I and so many others get to travel from Victoria to NSW to see our partners and families? Sounds like the tourist bubble dollar is more important than Australian families and mental health
