International airlines say 20,000 locked out after WA delays border reopening | latikambourke

“The Western Australian Government should accept accountability for the situation and obtain information about its stranded citizens.”

Abrams said it would take airlines 75 weeks to clear the backlog of passengers that had booked tickets in anticipation of the February 5 reopening.Professor Greg Dore, an infectious diseases expert at the Kirby Institute, told this masthead that WA’s indefinite border closure was futile, given the small outbreak of Omicron in Bunbury, which Mr McGowan has conceded the government will not be able to contain.

“I am in pieces and emotionally spent having endured one of the toughest years of our life without our parents here to help and support us.Rebecca, 42, a Perth mother who lives in Canada for her husband’s job with their two sons, said her worst fears came true when she watched Mr McGowan’s press conference in which he reneged on his promise to reunite the state with the rest of the country and the world.

“We haven’t booked anything, I want to see the first plane go off, the wheels reach the tarmac of the first plane before I book anything because it’s too hard for our boys,” she said.

Aitken vents fury at McGowan as WA firms up school, health plansStockbroker Angus Aitken has taken a swipe at Mark McGowan, as the WA Premier released details on how schools and hospitals will work when COVID-19 takes off. Who? I know two stockbrokers who think Angus is a prick. Want their details for a column? Another 'master of the universe' who whines like a baby when he doesn't get what he wants.

Aitken vents fury at McGowan as WA firms up school, health plansStockbroker Angus Aitken has taken a swipe at Mark McGowan, as the WA Premier released details on how schools and hospitals will work when COVID-19 takes off. Yah but he's always been an unprofessionally loose unit...don't be an Angus. The problem for WA residents is simple: By taking bad advise from McGowan, when Covid hits WA the population there will have no herd & exposure immunity. Over 99% of healthy people who get Covid survive it. The old, sick & weak will die of something its called life.

WA records 24 new local COVID cases as Bunbury cluster linked to lithium plant worsensWA's Omicron outbreak continues to grow, with Premier Mark McGowan announcing 24 new local COVID-19 cases — nine of them from the Bunbury area in the state's South West. McGowan should call a 24 day snap lockdown immediately. Slow the spread and prolong thIs misery as long as possible. Borders must stay closed to save lives but celebrations can continue. Struggling to comprehend the messaging here as someone separated from their triple vax'd, willing to quarantine partner for 11 months and counting. As much as it will upset the ABC I suppose 24 is better than the let it rip states of several thousand per day
