The NSW-Victoria border is shutting from midnight tomorrow, and getting through the blockade will depend on what you do and where you live.People who live in border communities will be able to travel between the states more freelyNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian described stopping travel between Australia's two most populous states as "a mammoth task".
It is expected to reflect what Queensland implemented more than three months ago which prevented inbound traffic to Queensland while New South Wales remained open with officials monitoring passengers at airports and train stations. "What is occurring in Victoria has not occurred anywhere else in Australia — it is a new part of the pandemic and as such it requires a new type of response."How do I get a permit?
NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said people caught lying on a permit application would be fined, and said drones would be used to help stop anyone trying to cross the border. Ms Berejiklian said people who lived in places like Albury-Wodonga, which straddle the state line, would be able to move between NSW and Victoria more freely, but conceded they would likely find the closure frustrating.
We are from a NON hotspot in vic, traveled to my sisters farm in NSW for work last Sat. Can we cross to go back to Vic on Thurs without any issues Can anyone help?
Big fine. Like the Big Banana or Merino...
I can see people flying to CBR and crossing to NSW from ACT...
Well civil war here we come. Is it any surprise that Gladys’ heritage is that of a country known to stand all over civil liberties? It is like we have hitler’s grand daughter in charge!! The next few weeks will be fascinating to watch. What is the constitutional legality of this?
Wow what a welcome wagon.
That 'Welcome To NSW' sign needs an addition, like the [No] Vacancy hotel sign with the [No] being switched on or off as needed '[Not] Welcome to NSW'
Traffic! Think lots of traffic ggrrrrr

Victoria-NSW border to shut from midnight on TuesdayBREAKING: The border between Victoria and NSW will close at midnight on Tuesday for the first time in 100 years, as the state’s second COVID-19 surge intensifies. Had to be done. Andrews mistakes threaten the entire Aussie economy. Now start training the people in Melbourne. They really need a strong shakeup. I have so many people that I don’t know coming closer than 50cm to me and they seem annoyed when I tell them to move or if I move Lockdown is the right action, and let's help Victorians overcome this issue. So closing off travel between Sydney and Melbourne? Goodbye economy! Goodbye airlines! Goodbye Australia!

'The risk remains': Sydney hotel guards under microscope as NSW records 14 new casesThe use of private security guards in Sydney's quarantine hotels is now under the microscope, with failures in monitoring guest movements being blamed for the surge of cases in Victoria “...Australian Health Protection Principal Committee is now considering masks for hotspot areas in Victoria due to the high levels of spread through the community.” Is mask wearing really that big a psychological hurdle for (non-Asian) people to overcome? Get the defence off their ass, for all the billions they cost us annually, might be a good time to put this never needing black hole of funding for training to good use!? why wasn't the army/navy/air force used, why are the Australian tax payers paying twice for something that was already here?

Complaints against police exceed targets in two out of three NSW districtsTwo-thirds of police area commands in NSW had an excessive number of complaints made against officers last year, with one western Sydney area receiving nearly one complaint for every three officers. NSW is a police state that is run like a communist country. There is no denying this, instead of hunting ISIS cells that acquire firearms, instead of stopping real crime they usually just fuck with the average law abiding citizen it's not their fault they have revenue targets. There’s some fabulous NSW cops and there are some real bastards. Yes we know that you can't trust anyone who works for the corporate government.
