I will say this really slowly so you understand.
QLD is not WA.
They have different systems. Both of which are different to NSW.
Control passed to the CHO in QLD on January 29 this year when the health emergency was declared (in QLD) Includes legislative powers.
No need to call it in NSW as the CMO already has extensive powers. Extensive meaning "any means necessary" extensive.

"On paper, it's
Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young, but she would be discussing those decisions with key players in the Government."
"Does the Premier have any say on the border?"
"Although the final decision is made by the CHO, the Premier is able to contribute information that the State Government considers relevant."
