NSW Premier announces border bubble with Vic to be expanded
A travel bubble surrounding the New South Wales–Victoria border is set to be extended 50 kilometres on both sides from Friday in a bid to reduce distress within border communities as coronavirus cases drop in Victoria. Premier Gladys Berejiklian offered her sympathy to residents in border communities whose lives were disrupted by closures saying “you don't see yourselves as a state border; as two communities, but one”. She announced that from Friday “life will change in a positive way for people”. Ms Berejiklian said she was very hesitant in the beginning to close the border between the two states but the NSW government was now confident to ease restrictions as Victoria’s caseload dropped. “Can I tell you, hand on heart, that one of the most difficult decisions I've made personally and the Government's made during this pandemic has been closing the New South Wales-Victorian border,” she said. “My decision was coming from a place of good intention and, of course, as I said, we won't leave the border closed for a day longer than we need to.” The Premier said she would take all responsibility for any frustrations which came as a result of the closure. “I'm the leader and the buck stops with me,” she said.
