My question is to the Prime Minister. Eight days into the Sydney outbreak the Prime Minister congratulated the New South Wales Premier for not locking down. Two months later, the whole of New South Wales is in extended lockdown, with a record 919 new cases today, and the outbreak has spread to Victoria, the ACT and even New Zealand. New South Wales hospitals are at breaking point. Will the Prime Minister accept that his complacency contributed to the current circumstances?
