Editor’s note: Prime Minister Scott Morrison has since clarified “only permanent residents, citizens and their families” will be able to return to NSW from 1 November without 14 days of hotel or at home quarantine.
This is despite Dominic Perrottet’s earlier announcement that NSW would be opening up to all travellers.
The Prime Minister has overturned that decision saying decisions regarding Australia’s international borders are “decisions for the Commonwealth”.
“The Commonwealth Government has made no decision to allow other visa holders, student visa holders, international visitors…to come to Australia under these arrangements,” confirmed Morrison.
