The Premier and mining magnate are suing each other for defamation in the Federal Court, with the trial originally set to get underway next week in NSW.
Justice Michael Lee heard an urgent interlocutory application on Tuesday, with Mr McGowan and WA Attorney-General John Quigley seeking permission to give their evidence at the trial remotely.Under WA’s border rules, they would be required to self-quarantine for two weeks upon their return to the state.The trial will then recommence on February 26, if that Saturday was necessary, and finish on February 28.
Mr McGowan and Mr Quigley will not be required to travel for first part of the trial because Mr Palmer will give evidence first. The Queensland mining magnate claims he was “brought into hatred, ridicule and contempt” when Mr McGowan referred to him as “the enemy of the state”. But Mr McGowan claims his reputation was damaged when Mr Palmer suggested he had abused parliament and lied to the public.
McGowan will experience the Novak treatment ?
Rubbish
I think the Premier Mark McGowan misspoke when he called Clive Palmer an enemy of the state. Clive Palmer is actually the ‘enema of the state’. Hey Clive … fark off walpol clivepalmer shitbloke
Love it
Gosh it's a wonder CP isn't suing more people, because we've all called him names.... l suppose targeting MM is targeting all of us West Aussies. Good luck MM

Aussie Lamb billboard's subtle dig at Mark McGowan and Jacinda ArdernAustralian Lamb has launched a funny new campaign targeting Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern after they backflipped on their plans to reopen borders in light of the Omicron variant. This is crap. Both nz and wa do not have an elimination policy as to why there borders are shut. This implies that wa/nz are missing out due to border closures. They don’t have the calamity we do. If they want to waste their money on idiotic billboard messages that say nothing at all, then who are we to stop them making fools of themselves. Jacinda cancelled her wedding plans bcos of crowd restrictions...she's not about to turn up to a bbq in Aust any time soon. 🤦♀️

Omicron has arrived in WA and ‘can’t be eliminated’West Australian Premier Mark McGowan’s decision to slam the border shut indefinitely might have been futile after 24 new coronavirus infections were announced. Shame about the pack of lies about the situation over here though, hey? Then just open the borders The Health Minister ought to at least give airborne transmission mitigation a red hot go and get the WA community involved before saying it can’t be done. This kind of misguided and defeatist attitude is why the pandemic won’t end until we cooperate and end it as a united front.

Live: Omicron wave persists as Australia marks two years with coronavirusStay up to date with all of Tuesday's coronavirus news and updates. They say we have reached the peak but not everyone who should test can get one 😕 Facts matter - Sure Feds announced Victoria was first covid case on 25/1/20 due to a Wuhan man arriving on 19th. BUT, a man in Sydney arrived on 6/1/20, had symptoms on 15th, another arrived on 18th and both diagnosed on 25th too ...but the narrative is still 'But Victoria' ... Sad thing is, so many have died, gotten sick and are still sick thanks to poor decisions.
