“I IMAGINE the response from people on the NSW south coast on seeing a lot of ACT number plates will be outrage,” Chief Minister Andrew Barr told ABC Radio National this morning.
He was asked what he thought of images of roads packed with people supposedly fleeing the Canberra lockdown for coastal holiday houses.
“I’m embarrassed by that behaviour, frankly. I know the regional area of NSW will be horrified at that thought.
“I don’t want this to become an ACT/NSW thing. There are many Canberrans who are very upset that the virus got here in the first place and they presume it’s come from Sydney.”
