Australia news live: Northern beaches back in lockdown as Covid-19 spreads across Sydney

I think the government is doing the best they can and with the information they have got what’s becoming more increasingly prevalent around here is that because we have been split into two in our area, the people in the southern part of the northern beaches saying, “We have done nothing wrong, we’re clean”, so to speak, “So we should have able of the freedom it is as greater Sydney to those in the north”, which is understandable.

The biggest worry now is businesses and New Year’s Eve and what happens there. Locally they can’t open, they need to know by pretty much Monday, Tuesday, because they need to get stock in and what have you. It’s really big deal and a lot of angst going on. This is a time when people want to get together at home and roll on the celebrations. It’s challenging.
