will come in to place at midnight, but Premier Mark McGowan is urging the community to stay vigilant.
"Lockdowns are a method that does help prevent the spread of the virus very quickly, and it gets the matter over with as quickly as we possibly can," he said. He pointed to the outbreak on Sydney's Northern Beaches as an example of an outbreak where extended measures restricted residents' movement and cost the economy."They had three months – three months – of measures put in place. It cost the NSW economy $3.2 billion," he said.
Western Australia has halved the number of returned overseas travellers coming into the state this month as it grapples with its latest outbreak, but Mr McGowan has flagged a more permanent reduction.Declining to reveal his discussions with the Prime Minister at National Cabinet on the quarantine situation, he said "clearly the Commonwealth knows our position".
Game of Thrones looks different this year
Alright buddy
Sydney any day at least the state was still pumping and went strait to the problem
Prefer NSW strategy to WA strategy any day. Lockdowns are low tech and particularly inconvenient
It’s not a competition champ, this clown and palaczuk seem to think it’s a game and the state with the fewest cases wins
Repeating something doesn't make it true. WA have had it better than Victoria, that's it.
Lol
It’s easy to do well with global pandemics when the Feds closed the international border and you blocked yourself away from the rest of the country. But well done you.

True. Though I have to say all states have done well, i.e. Australia, in general, has done well. Kudos to all of us.
Please be careful as WA has large UK expatriate population and also many Anglo Indians who travel to India. Keep up the good work.
All states and territories have done extremely well considering they have had little or no help from the Morrison govt.
