  • John Barilaro Brad Hazzard Deputy Premier Minister for Health and Medical Research
    Gladys Berejiklian Dominic Perrottet Premier of NSW Treasurer John Barilaro Brad Hazzard Deputy Premier Minister for Health and Medical Research MEDIA RELEASE Wednesday, 28 July 2021 CERTAINTY FOR THE COMMUNITY AS RESTRICTIONS ADJUSTED AND VACCINES RAMPED UP Given low vaccination rates, the current stay at home orders will remain in place for another four weeks (until Saturday, 28 August at 12.01am) across Greater Sydney including the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour. This extra time will allow NSW residents to significantly increase the uptake of vaccines in areas most affected by the current outbreak and across the state. Premier Gladys Berejiklian said higher vaccination rates and following the health orders are the only way to guarantee the further easing of restrictions. “Though the Pfizer supply is insufficient there is plenty of AstraZeneca, and updated federal health advice recommends anyone aged 18 and over in Greater Sydney should access the jab,” Ms Berejiklian said. “If you are unvaccinated, please organise a jab as soon as you possibly can, especially if you live in an LGA of concern.” Other restriction changes are as follows: From midnight tonight (28 July): In line with exercise rules, Greater Sydney residents including the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour must limit their shopping to within their Local Government Area (LGA) or, if outside their LGA, within 10km from home, unless the item is not available locally. Given localised case numbers, the Parramatta, Campbelltown and Georges River LGAs will join the five existing LGAs of concern which are subject to an Authorised Workers Order.

  • Nationals Boycott of Joint Party Room a Charade
    8 September, 2020 Nationals Boycott of Joint Party Room a Charade The NSW Nationals threat to go to the crossbench over the Koala SEPP guidelines and new tree protection laws is more smoke and mirrors led by Clarence MP Chris Gulaptis and has now engulfed the whole party in a political charade, orchestrated by the Nationals leader John Barilaro. “On one hand we have the Premier waxing lyrical about how great it is to be a “progressive green tory,” whilst the Nationals pretend to advocate for coastal bush seats,” Robert Borsak, leader of the Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party said. National party ministers, Melinda Pavey, Adam Marshall and John Barilaro rubber-stamped the Koala SEPP and snuck it through during the catastrophic Black Summer bushfires. For the Nationals to pretend they weren’t complicit in its implementation is a lie to the people they allegedly represent. “How can anyone in the bush take the Nationals seriously when they have to beg for their supper from a Liberal elite that takes them and their electorates for granted,” Mr Borsak said. “If the Nationals want to be taken seriously Mr Barilaro should resign his position as Deputy Premier, quit his portfolios and lead all the Nationals to the crossbench. “Whatever happened to the boast that the Nationals are “at the Cabinet table” and “have their hand on the cheque book”, if this were true their current charade would not be necessary,” said Mr Borsak. The Koala SEPP grossly infringes on the freedom of our farmers and property owners and does so using flawed science.

Yasmin Catley MP; The Rt Hon the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Councillor Clover Moore Dear Premier Re: Reopening support for night time industries We write in furtherance of our letters dated 12 and 23 July 2021, with thanks for the support provided to the highly-impacted industries that the Night Time Industries Association (“NTIA”) represents - being hospitality, events and performance, arts, culture, retail and their supply chains. With public funds starting to find their way into private business bank accounts and the reintroduction of mandated rent relief for eligible commercial tenants - for which we thank you - we now turn our attention to the reopening of these industries as safely, efficiently and quickly as possible. In this, we are seeking more clarity on what the roadmap to recovery looks like, as well as reopening principles and support specifically targeted at these highly-impacted industries, which have experienced extreme adverse economic and personal impacts due to the lockdown. It is our understanding that confidence is at an all-time low since the onset of COVID-19.

  • Here Is a Strong Desire for an ‘App” to Allow the Public to Easily See Which Beaches Are Crowded And/Or Closed to Further Visitors
    on these spaces increase over the coming months, councils seek two specific actions from the NSW Government to ensure the safety of our communities. Firstly, we request that the NSW Government develop and fund a Beaches and Open Spaces Communications Strategy and Campaign, in consultation with councils, NSW public service agencies and Surf Life Saving NSW. A state led campaign is needed to raise public awareness of the need to be COVID-safe at beaches and popular public spaces, aware of public health order requirements that apply and conscious that they should not attend locations that are already at or nearing capacity. Materials from the Communications Strategy would be used by local governments, Surf Life Saving NSW, NSW Police and other NSW public service agencies to promote public awareness of how Public Health Orders apply to our beaches, and what we can all do, together, to keep these public spaces open for longer as the weather warms and COVID continues. As part of this, there is a strong desire for an ‘App” to allow the public to easily see which beaches are crowded and/or closed to further visitors. The meeting agreed that the suitability of the SLSNSW App as a tool for communicating beach crowding and capacity to the public on a large scale basis should be considered. Government investment in providing an App or helping to modify the SLSNSW app would be appreciated, and it may be an area where Service NSW could assist. Consistent communication about the state’s beaches and improved understanding and compliance by the public would reduce the need for NSW Police to intervene and enforce Public Health Orders on our beaches, and support councils and Surf Life Saving NSW to best manage these spaces in high demand times, allowing them to remain open.
