Coronavirus NSW: Hard border claims branded 'childish'

Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton, has hit out at the news Queensland is considering a hard border with NSW, blasting the situation as "childish".

Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton, has hit out at the "childish" way the situation between the Queensland and NSW border is being handled.

Speaking to Nine's Today, Mr Dutton commented on the fact that the NSW premier hadn't been informed about any of Queensland's recent border announcements.

"When you get a premier like Annastacia Palaszczuk making announcements about border closures when Gladys Berejiklian is doing a press conference and she is caught out, the question is asked of her and she knows nothing about it, she hadn’t been contacted by Queensland, well you would imagine she would be a bit miffed," he said.

"I think it is childish."

Mr Dutton's comments come after Ms Berejiklian confirmed once again Queensland premier hadn't given her a heads up about potentially placing a hard border on NSW.

NSW has recorded nine new COVID-19 cases in the 24 hours to 8pm last night.
