“Our strategy is to keep going forward but I can’t guarantee that will happen,” Berejiklian said this morning.
“I don’t want to do what other countries have done where they open and shut, open and shut, lockdown and not lockdown.”
Berejiklian defended the state’s strict management of lockdown restrictions.
“We want to make sure every step is a step forward and not a step backwards,” she said.
“It is why are doing things in a particular way to manage extra cases as we ease restrictions.”
Berejiklian urged other states around the country to reconsider their approach to borders and interstate travel.
She also said that while international travel remained a long-term goal, she was in support of a “travel bubble” between New Zealand and Australia.
“I think that would be a very positive move,” she said.
