INAL... but looking at the actual wording of the health order I am not sure this is correct...because it doesn't seem to directly say you can't leave Greater Sydney (also Wollongong counts as GS under the order). https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/file/Public%20Health%20(COVID-19%20Temporary%20Movement%20and%20Gathering%20Restrictions)%20Order%202021.pdf …https://twitter.com/joshgnosis/status/1409324057632284677 …
It does specify GS under the reasonable excuse for exercise/recreation. Presumably that was the excuse used in this case (if not, I suspect that they would still be fined because I can't think of another excuse that covers the situation)pic.twitter.com/3vBIsA6tPW
