Call for Sydneysiders to be banned from northern NSW

Government MPs are demanding Sydneysiders be banned from northern NSW, including Byron Bay, once the state reopens, insisting non-essential regional travel should not be allowed until local vaccination rates catch up. In a bipartisan letter to Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Deputy Premier John Barilaro, Nationals, Labor and Greens MPs said all regional travel was ‘‘not good health policy,’’ while jabs were lagging in some areas. The letter called for a restriction on non-essential travel to the North Coast until the region itself hits 70 per cent.
