West Australian Premier Mark McGowan says he will not hesitate to shut his state's borders again if there is an increase in COVID-19 cases following the announcement WA would be relaxing its border restrictions. "We all know how quickly things can change, he said.
"I will have no hesitation to reintroduce the hard border if that's what's needed to protect the health of West Australians. "It's important to not, failure to follow these directions will be enforceable by law with penalties ranging from a $1,000 infringement to a $50,000 penalty for individuals.
This Man is just a Bully. Don't worry Mark have no interest in going to WA so you can keep ur borders closed. Your only hurting the good ppl of WA who by the way are Australians before Western Australians.
That’s because obviously the WA premier is another dictator moron. Really wish Clive Palmer would kick his sorry arse in the court battles
If covid gets into WA there it no plan to stop it.
WA is the arse end of the world. Happy for them to keep the border closed forever. Perth is a hole of place. Just keep shipping iron ore to the Chinese as that is all WA is good for.
Needs to just Shut his Mouth...

Good on ya MM I suppose you won’t get any COVID-19 cases if you keep the door locked. Maybe you could take a few pointers from NSW on how to track cases then maybe u would you open the boarders stimulate the economy&allow families to reunite. You & WA are armatures just losers
Any increase would tell you that lockdowns don’t work!
Cases are irrelevant.
ummm after the High Court says it's illegal you can't
Dear oh dear ! Of course there will be an increase in virus cases. Nothing has changed, look at NSW and Victoria today, if McGowan is opening borders with no vaccine or cure for Cove-19. Why did he close them?
Well ya goose - state upfront what will trigger another border closure. People and businesses make expensive decisions based on this information. We're pretty tired of relying on the whim of politicians!!
The Army MUST be sent into WA. to bring the state back under the control of the Australian Nation. McGowan and his thugs must be arrested.
and if there is a spike in cases in WA then the same should apply, no?

WA hard borders is an 'incredibly confusing' and 'arbitrary system': Human Rights Watch | Sky News AustraliaHuman Rights Watch Researcher Sophie McNiell says Western Australia's hard border is 'an arbitrary system' that is 'incredibly confusing'.\n\n'We interviewed 17 people who had their applications to enter WA rejected, many of them numerous times, one woman seven times despite the fact her mother was ill in hospital,' she said.\n\n'Part of the confusion is there are not enough resources going into this - the West Australian police are managing this.\n\n'There's no formal review process if your application is rejected... there desperately needs to be more transparency.'\n\nMs McNiell noted people who apply on grounds of employment are, on the whole, gaining approval more quickly than those applying on compassionate grounds.\n\nShe argued many people became unemployed as a result of the pandemic and if the borders were in place because of a public health emergency, then it shouldn't matter if one was employed or not as to the risk of bringing COVID-19 into the state.\n\n gee, that was strong...what is it with our piss weak human rights people..pathetic Only to people who watch Sky News or read the Murdoch press. Most of us have a pretty good handle on it. It matters to McGowan if you are coming into WA to bring money into the State. If it's on compassionate grounds, he's not interested as there's no money in compassion!
