"Our concern with the current announcement is that it is confusing for many people in Sydney.
"Everyone doing the same thing, the same rules for everyone.
"If we do that would get let the government get ahead of the virus and give the contact traces a chance to catch up. They are falling behind this variant.
"Try to avoid months and months of lockdown in Sydney.
"The economic consequences of lockdown are significant but the economic consequences of getting this wrong a catastrophic not just for Sydney but for all of Australia.
