Exactly and then would have required mandatory hotel quarantine, only avoided because NSW did not require anything - BUT now have shut the border = hindsight a little late.
The girls did have a right to enter home state at all times - they avoided a key factor of quarantine by using NSW (P.S not my word "girls" mate blame another poster).
