Four weeks before Sydney went into a two week lockdown against the covid-19 Delta virus outbreak, New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian proudly lectured other jurisdictions on how to handle the pandemic. At a Liberal Council address in Canberra, she declared that NSW would never again go into lockdown.
The NSW Liberal Party appears to have made a political decision against lockdowns with federal senator Hollie Hughes declaring last week that it wasn’t the done thing in NSW.
Even Prime Minister Scott Morrison, a member of the NSW Liberal Party, made similar claims just two days before the lockdown in Sydney came into place.
