NSW pollie tells Barr to 'hand back Jervis Bay' or power off after 'extraordinary ultimatum'

A politician says the ACT should "hand back Jervis Bay" and turn over Yarralumla to NSW in response to Chief Minister Andrew Barr's "unbecoming" ultimatum.

NSW upper house Labor MP and spokesperson for Goulburn Bob Nanva said in the NSW Parliament that Mr Barr should "stop carrying on in the media, stop with the histrionics" while the ACT negotiates with NSW over water supply and land.

In a May 18 letter to NSW Premier Chris Minns, Mr Barr said the ACT would only supply water to Yass, Murrumbateman or Bungendore if NSW handed over a 1000-hectare parcel of land called Parkwood.
