"Full credit to the AHA, they came to the government with stronger steps they are prepared to take," the source said. " This isn't about the government being heavy-handed, it's about tightening existing restrictions."
Most recently group bookings of 20 people have been allowed and no restrictions placed on the number of people inside a pub provided a venue complies with an indoor limit of one person for every four square metres. The Golden Sheaf, in Double Bay in Sydney's east, was fined $5000 last Friday after images of long queues forming outside the venue were shared on the internet.
The pub, which has since been identified as the Lake Jindabyne Hotel's bistro, was closed for breaching the Liquor Act, but police flagged that further infringement action was likely. The hotel declined to comment.Loading"I'm appealing to all licensees, all pubs, to learn from this mistake and see what's going on in Victoria. If they are under any illusion – under any illusion whatsoever – that we are through this in NSW, they are sadly mistaken," Mr Elliott said.
AlexSmithSMH What the f**k will that achieve.

AlexSmithSMH Everyone knows you can't catch Covid at the Casino or school. It isn't allowed in the doors. Scotty and Gladdy told us.
AlexSmithSMH It ok, it won't happen again, we promise. $5000 fine paid off by letting a few more on the pokies for 10 minutes and earn tripple that.
AlexSmithSMH Yay, only 300 people infected at a time. WINNER
AlexSmithSMH 300 is still far to many!!!!

Premier warns NSW is at a 'crossroads' after Sydney pub cluster expands to six peopleEvery person who visited a Sydney pub centre over an eight-day period has been told to self-isolate after a staffer tested positive to coronavirus. And so it begins. We only need a handful of these people to ignore the warning, do their on thing and in 3 weeks we’ll be just like Melbourne. WillowA2 So, as a Victorian, let me warn you, NSW residents. It is highly unlikely that all these patrons will willingly self-isolate. This is a major outbreak in the making unless more drastic action is taken. TheBigShip Look south, NSW, to see what you will be facing in the next month COVID19Vic auspol

Premier Gladys Berejiklian says NSW is at a 'crossroads' after Sydney pub coronavirus cluster growsNSW will now charge international arrivals for their mandatory 14-day stay in hotel quarantine, beginning with $3,000 for the first adult in each travelling party. Frm the beginning tax payers shdnt be footing the bill of quarantine. Returned travelers hv plenty of time to fly back home but they made their decision, hence they are responsible for their decision. Tax payers money shd foot the free mask bill so everyone gets mask to wear! Give my regards 2 UR leader Kim Jong-Un! 🙄😷🦠 🇦🇺 NorthKoreaAdjacent 🇰🇵

Sydney pub worker tests positive for COVID-19, as NSW introduces $3,000 hotel quarantine feeA staff member at the Crossroads Hotel in south-west Sydney tests positive for COVID-19, while travellers returning to New South Wales will have to pay $3,000 for their fortnight stay in hotel quarantine from next week. 3000 per person. Wow. Good luck bringin ya expat family home now. So if someone flies out of Australia due to an emergency and return a month later, will they also need to pay $3000 or is it just for citizens and residents who are planning to return to Oz since the pandemic started Need some clarity pls I was surprised how many ppl are still travelling during a pandemic. Of course they should pay their hotel quarantine fee. If ppl at the start self isolated we would not need guarded quarantine.

A $3,000 bill for NSW hotel quarantine is 'fair', says premierSlugging returning Australians up to $3,000 each to cover the cost of their hotel quarantine is fair given they have had three or four months to make plans, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says. good decision I agree! Make them pay! Many couldn't leave cos the place they were in was in lockdown. Once opened, flights had stopped or were four times more expensive. Now they will be working out Plan J.
