Kind of confusing as the article says NSW should mandate masks to avoid other states locking them out. Victoria mandated masks and WA locked them out anyway. I have no doubt if NSW mandated masks the border issue would be the same until community transmission was zero for 28 days.
I wonder what the advice NSW follows as there must be a reason for not making them compulsory. The Avalon cluster orignated at a RSL club so not sure how masks work at these locations. The Croydon cluster was spread in the same household where masks aren't required to be worn. The recent Victoria outbreak started at a cafe, so again who would be wearing a mask.
