‘Not unreasonable’ for Gladys to hold off on border reopening: Andrews
Premier Daniel Andrews says NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has made it “abundantly clear” she wants to see “how things unfold in the next little while” before reopening the NSW-Victoria border. “I don't think that is an unreasonable thing. I wasn't surprised to hear that,” he said. The premier highlighted comments made by Australia’s Chief Scientist Dr Alan Finkel who recently expressed confidence in the Victorian contact tracing system. “Chief Scientist Alan Finkel has visited every single state and territory has a really close and detailed knowledge of the contact tracing and testing regimes in every state," the premier said. “He has made some positive, positive comments about our testing framework … that should be a reassurance in a comfort to everybody. “I get along very well with Gladys and we have got a very important partnership and we will get the border open when it is safe to do so." In response to a reporter who said Ms Berejiklian had taken a swipe at Victoria saying it is easy to have zero cases when there is such a big lockdown, Mr Andrews dodged the question and said, “there is nothing easy about lockdown and what Victorians have been through.”
