NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has grown sick and tired of carrying the nation’s hotel quarantine load for returning Australians while NSW residents are simultaneously shut out of travel to other states.
Accordingly, Berejiklian has demanded the Queensland and WA Governments pay for their returned travelers processed through NSW’s hotel quarantine facilities:
A fed-up Ms Berejiklian, on Wednesday, urged Queensland and Western Australia to open their borders to NSW residents. She said she was disappointed to have her state treated the same as Victoria, particularly as 45 per cent of the returned Australians being processed in Sydney hotels were from out of state.
