NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says she’s more ambitious than her federal counterparts as to when international borders should re-open.

Ms Berejiklian congratulated the federal government for handing down a “very strong budget under very difficult circumstances,” but added she would like to see borders reopen earlier than mid-2022.


“I’m always very ambitious. I’m probably more ambitious than what was there,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“I would like to see us really work as fast as we can to get our population vaccinated and that’s why the NSW government was the first to step up and say ‘let the states help’ which we’re doing.”
