Josh Frydenburg’s border embarrassment averted Save Normal text size Treasurer Josh Frydenberg had his own encounter with Victoria’s “gold standard” public health efforts on Friday night as he returned to Melbourne at the end of the sitting week. Travellers arriving on Qantas’ QF865 at 7:40pm were amused to see Victorian border officials single out from the stream of passengers one J Frydenberg. Their request? The Treasurer’s entry permit for Victoria. As readers will be aware, all travellers into Victoria still require a permit which can be kept electronically or printed off. It was only earlier in the week that Frydenberg declared New South Wales’ contact tracing and pandemic management efforts to be the standard other states should set out to emulate. That message would have not gone down well with the Health Department burghers and border officials in his home state.
