Queensland’s demand that NSW eliminate COVID-19 community transmissions before it considers reopening its border is unreasonable and “a pretty tall order,” Premier Gladys Berejiklian says.

NSW confirmed 12 new cases on Sept. 3 as clusters associated with a Sydney CBD gym and two schools in the city’s west rose to 52 and 12 respectively.
