I guess there is no point in trying to compare published active cases stats between states of AU anymore.
I can't find the article again, but earlier today read that NSW gov has changed the way they report stats yet again out of step with all other states. From memory, they will no longer count anyone in quarantine, returned travellers, cases after 30 days, and other changes. Overnight active cases stats for NSW dropped by three hundred.
Australia has officially recorded more than 10,000 COVID deaths in total, with 4,000 of those recorded in Victoria. Here's what the latest data shows.

NSW Health’s official tally of active coronavirus cases has tumbled from 330 to just six, following a series of changes to the definition of an “active case” by the state’s health authority.
The most recent change, announced on June 25, means the figure no longer includes cases acquired overseas nor cases where symptoms first appeared more than four weeks earlier — regardless of whether or not the patient has been assessed as “recovered”. Active cases dropped from 98 to six as a result.
It is the second change in two weeks to the way current or active cases are counted. On June 11, NSW Health announced it would no longer count cases where recovery information was not available after six weeks. This caused the state’s active case count to fall from about 330 to 71.
