Morrison back in Canberra after crossing border to visit Sydney | CroweDM
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has returned to Canberra from a brief visit to his family in Sydney after gaining an exemption from health authorities to cross the border with NSW.
Flight radar websites showed that one of the Royal Australian Air Force’s business jets, a Dassault Falcon 7X, flew from Canberra to Sydney on Saturday afternoon in a 25-minute flight and returned to Canberra early on Monday morning. A key reason was a meeting of the national security committee of federal cabinet on Monday, requiring the Prime Minister to talk with officials and cabinet colleagues in a secure briefing room.
Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce also gained an exemption last month so he could enter the ACT to attend Parliament after driving from his home in the regional NSW town of Armidale, which was subject to lockdowns.
