The vaccinated quarantine worker who tested positive for covid in Sydney was picked up through regular testing for staff. But what happens in the general community if the vaccinated dont have symptoms & hence dont get tested? Contact tracing = gone?

3wombats Well done WA. Best global economy. PM 'Financial Genius' Morrison will have a technicolour yawn when he finds out. (Barry Humphries)

Just asked their tourist industry she if they agree.

Wait until the left and greens gets rid of coal and mining! It will be another venezuela! GreenNewDeal economy collapse!

Only because of Iron Ore. A one horse donkey running W.A could still get that title.

Iron ore prices through the roof which provides enormous 'state royalties'

Well done MarkMcGowanMP ! Keep making Western Australians proud 👏👏👏 auspol economy

But wait, I thought NewsCorp said only Liberal governments can manage the economy well?!? 😭

rmcwrite Yep, thanks China.

But tourism. How’s that going? No one can or wants to come here for fear of lockdown

It's called iron ore exports don't get to carried away

It's got nothing to do with this flog Mcgowan....it's called iron ore royaltys.

AshleyLeahy Whatever happened to the Liberals being good economic managers? Oh wait, it's just propaganda

All due to mining...

Digging up and selling to a ready CCP where is the state government's credit in this?

Well they do have the mines so it ain't rocket science

Leroy_Lynch Is Morrison taking credit again ?

Yeah, world leader on indigenous disadvantage, deaths in custody, child abuse, you name it. What a flog

..might have something to do with the coal, if they didn't have coal they would be screwed!

Not hard when mining does it for you🤦🏻‍♂️🙄

Given everything they export is up 40% in the last 9 months... some at record all time highs... even a blind donkey leading the state whilst walking backwards could claim that title. From iron ore to nickel to wool...

WA also has the worlds largest deposits of iron ore.

SimonBanksHB Murdoch is crashing and burning.

Best economy in the world yet refuses to pay their fair share of Hotel Quarantine costs to NSW. Scrooges?

Labor are better economic managers, it's just a fact. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

An economy propped up only by mining and resources. Not by Labor. Such hubris.

More disgraceful Murdoch bias. I mean, that’s the cool thing to tweet these days isn’t it? MrKRudd

Labor states are propping up NSW.
