Sky News host Paul Murray says “there is a chance” legal action could be taken by cruise ship companies against the government which has insisted the ships leave for their home ports.

The Guardian reported “legal actions could undo government orders that cruise ships leave Australian waters”.

“This would be a major test for Australian courts and a major test of how the law works state by state and nationally”.

Mr Murray said cruise ships need to be “fuelled up, turned around, given their food and headed back to their home ports”.

“We don’t want to be dealing with international problems with international crews on cruise ships that should have left our waters a long time ago,” he said.

Speaking of the investigation into the Ruby Princess cruise ship fiasco, Mr Murray said he was “very nervous that an alternative set of facts were about to be created here and that someone is going to move blame from the health authorities who did not do their job to pretending that it is a single border force person who did the wrong thing”.

The NSW Government are completely invested in saying “not my fault,” he said.
