Speaking about the plan on Friday, Ms Berejiklian said the government would be "very strict" about social distancing.

AlexSmithSMH Ridiculous measures. Just another money grab. Throwing roads and public transport into chaos. You’ve already scared ppl to death with the overreaction and now you want to punish them, make it harder for them to get back to work. I’m sure commuters can figure out what’s sensible.

AlexSmithSMH Now CBD centric planning (Harbour view mentality) over many decades - but recently speeded up with Barangaroo by GladysB - takes terrible revenge. The oil industry cannot survive $30 oil. Add an oil crisis and Sydney is stuffed

AlexSmithSMH Encourage upright bike commutes and ditch draconian helmet laws.

AlexSmithSMH Ridiculous situation, thousands of people have been going to work for months as normal. Suddenly Gladys is worried and less people will be able to get on the same bus than they did last week.

AlexSmithSMH More cars, more traffic
