Description
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian defended the severity of Sydney’s COVID-19 restrictions, claiming they were the "harshest lockdown conditions that any state in Australia has seen".
However, while some rules were harsher than those tried elsewhere, many were less strict.
Verdict: Ms Berejiklian’s claim is wrong.
