‘Time will tell’ whether lockdown protests will be a ‘setback’ to lifting restrictions

Premier Gladys Berejiklian says “time will tell” whether Saturday’s anti-lockdown protests will turn out to be a “setback” to lifting restrictions.

“I think that's why all of us were absolutely disgusted and disappointed, yesterday, because we know that events like that can cause those super-spreading events,” she said.

“Please know that all of the sacrifices we've made over the last three or four weeks in particular have resulted in us being able to stabilise the growth in cases.

"We don't want a setback, and yesterday could have been a setback. Time will tell. But I'm just so utterly disgusted, disappointed and heartbroken that people don't consider the safety and wellbeing of their fellow citizens.”
