That's despite the current restrictions having no limits on regional travel.
Lawyer Mai Chen says told Mike Hosking there's a big difference between a conversation and a rule.
“I think it’s good to have a conversation and say where you’re going and what you’re doing and how you’re managing these risks, conversations are fine, but I think prohibitions are pretty difficult to justify.”
