Gladys Berejiklian has launched yet another scathing attack of Daniel Andrews over ongoing border closures.
The New South Wales Premier has lashed out her Victoria counterpart for not reopening the border sooner, just hours after the federal government declared Australia no longer has any coronavirus hotspots.
The pair have been at loggerheads since Victoria closed its borders in December after a new outbreak emerged on Sydney s northern beaches shortly before Christmas.
Ms Berejiklian reignited the war of words with another thinly-veiled swipe at Mr Andrews on Sunday, despite NSW recording six new locally-acquired cases.
She has repeatedly pointed out in recent weeks that NSW waited until new cases in virus-riddled Victoria reached almost 200 a day or more before closing the border last July.
Those who refuse to be immunised against COVID-19 could be banned from pubs, restaurants or their workplaces under a radical plan proposed by Gladys Berejiklian.
The New South Wales Premier has revealed she is considering implementing regulations that would prohibited residents who have not vaccinated from entering certain venues.
She said the measures would be aimed at incentivising uptake of the vaccine, which is vital to rebooting the economy, and businesses may require patrons to prove they had received the jab.
