NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet has conceded mistakes were made with the Ruby Princess cruise ship and those responsible should be held to account.

11 people who were aboard the Ruby Princess have died with more than 600 cases of COVID-19 attributed to the cruise ship.

A criminal investigation has been launched into who gave permission for the ship to dock and for passengers to disembark unchecked.

Mr Perrottet tells Alan Jones mistakes were made but the focus now is on the pandemic itself.

“I believe right now is not the time for incrimination… it’s the time to focus on the health and economic response.

“But there is no doubt that once this investigation takes place those who have made mistakes should be held to account.”

“I have got two emails received a day and a half after we came home saying we’ve got to self-isolate.”
