Here’s Your Ball Back

Daniel Andrews in a boarded up house, surrounded by barbed wire. Neighbours are NSW and SA. Gladys Berejiklian throws a COVID-style ball over the fence to Andrews saying, 'And here's your ball back'.

Despite being an outspoken critic of border closures, New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian shut the state’s border with Victoria at 12.01 am on 8 July.
