NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has told lawyers to draft a new public health order after police withdrew a $5000 fine against a party bus operator because of a legal loophole | AngusGthompson

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has told lawyers to draft a new public health order after police withdrew a $5000 fine against a party bus operator because of a legal loophole.

Mr Hazzard said on Tuesday he had spoken to NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller and confirmed he had instructed lawyers to draft new health orders to close what appeared to be a legal loophole."As soon as I sign the new orders they will be enforceable with $5000 fines.

Ms McCusker, a COVID-19 Operation Commander, said a party bus didn't fall under the definition of a premises and therefore wasn't required to have a COVID-19 safety plan, nor was it a food-and-drink premises as a BYO arrangement was usually in place. Individual groups of no more than 10 people are currently allowed in hospitality venues.
