Police investigate whether COVID-positive Sydney man who travelled to Byron Bay breached health ordersThe Sydney man who travelled to Byron Bay is accused of not using QR codes during his stay and travelling there to view property, in a move the local mayor has slammed as 'annoying and frustrating'. Can the NSW police investigate on their own Premier too. why she can’t do a better job bringing the numbers down,!? Rather constantly going on about a vaccine for the past 2 weeks. Can’t tolerate her podium daily announcements. Interesting that it is not automatic that travelling from Sydney to Byron is a breach of lockdown orders. Toughest lockdown, hey?
