MORNING BRIEFING: A paramedic says high speed may have been a factor in a crash in Merrylands West last night which left two people with serious injuries, one of whom was trapped in the wreckage for an hour as emergency crews worked to free him.
A woman is in a critical condition and a man is in a serious condition after two cars collided in what is believed to have been a "very high speed" crash in Sydney's west overnight.
Stella Lo, 70, became separated from the group between 11:15am and midday while walking in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Prime Minister Scott Morrison yesterday described NSW's test-and-trace strategy as the "gold standard" in COVID-19 suppression. "If people don't do the right thing, and the beach has become too crowded then we'll have to look at how we manage those numbers," she said.A Western Sydney school will re-open this morning after health authorities found a student who had initially tested positive to COVID-19 does not have the disease.

Are there koalas in Hyde Park? Are there koalas in Centennial Park? \n\n“No there’s not. It’s a concrete jungle and we’re paying the price.\n\n“We preserve and reserve the koala population in New South wales, we don’t need to be told what we can do with our own land.”\n\n

NSW a shining example of 'effective virus management' for Victoria | Sky News AustraliaLiberal MP Trent Zimmerman says Victoria should format its roadmap to recovery on the criteria used by NSW given the successful management of the coronavirus by the Berejiklian government.\n\n“If we had the type of criteria being used by the Victorian government in places in NSW, then NSW would be somewhere between stage two and stage three lockdowns,” he told Sky News.\n\n“What NSW has so effectively demonstrated is you don’t have to persist with those types of extreme lockdowns if you’ve got the tracing and management systems in place to be able to cope with low levels of community transmission”.\n\nLabor MP Peter Khalil noted “the only place I can think of that had a similarly strict suppression strategy … which almost looked like elimination was New Zealand”.\n\nHe called on the federal government to extend JobKeeper at its former rate for Victorians, provide additional tax relief and support small business through the lockdown. \n\nImage: Getty
