WA Premier Mark McGowan says he 'probably should have' let the media know two Australians had disembarked from the Al Messilah livestock carrier at Fremantle before a COVID-19 outbreak was detected on board.

The WA Premier has conceded he has known since the weekend that two Australians were allowed to disembark a livestock ship at Fremantle before a COVID-19 outbreak was detected on board.

The pair disembarked the ship and were allowed to go home before 25 cases of COVID-19 on board were discovered. "The ship itself had not at that point in time recorded or reported any COVID and obviously had been at sea for a long period of time.Mr McGowan said the man from Sydney and woman from Busselton had both recorded negative results. 'The woman from Busselton is now in hotel quarantine "as a precaution", with Mr McGowan saying that was what "she wanted to do".

"We released as much information as possible, as quickly as possible, so the public is fully informed," Mr McGowan said.

ABCscience Theres also civilians flying in on DHL planes and not having to clear customs. Just getting off the plane and going home.

Too busy grandstanding to tell the truth

the people on the plane to Sydney? Was NSW govt. told, were the other passengers told... superspreader plane flight. Shit for brains somewhere!!

Border Force have learn absolutely nothing ,. and by inference ScoMo's senior ministers ( esp the one in charge of BF ).

2 Australian crewmen allowed to disembark !! Here were go again - Border Force fked up again. So are they in quarantine ? Or have they vanished into the WA community . This could become another Ruby Princess incident if they are spreading covid and not quarantined.

You don’t need to know that bit. The Premier has done nothing wrong.

All about public appearances for McGowan. The WA people will wake up to his antics

Disgraceful - what else has he “ failed to remember “ Open the state borders the risk is Overseas not Interstate anymore - what a drop kick ! Not Mr91% anymore - borders will crush that !

I just ... no words. Who is doing these risk assessments?

So now the WA Premier has a memory issue!!

We are now seeing that 'POLITICAL PARTIES' don't work anymore. ( Lies, Corruption, Promises,Backdoor Deals. It goes on forever ) We need a 'NEW SYSTEM' where all Australians can decide from all Australians, the person who they most want to lead their country once every 6 years

A POLITICAL SYSTEM where the LEADER is selected by ALL of the PEOPLE and who governs for 6 years does not come with the GARBAGE that POLITICAL PARTIES have. No reason to maintain Power,Jobs for the Boys,Ministers,Members of Parliament,Etc.all goes away.PROPER GOVERNMENT ENSUES.

The long journey home: How WA couple's Antarctic adventure turned into a COVID nightmareRose and Graham Paget weren't to know that the journey home to their Great Southern cattle farm would take more than six months as Rose battled complications from COVID-19. Best wishes to Rose. Embarking a cruise ship in March when a pandemic had been declared of all places to Antartic was probably imprudent but the onus should be on the tour operator! Never listen to business operators; they will say anything for money! All's well that ends well.

Stolen wages class action launched against WA GovernmentMore than 50 years after the practice was scrapped, Indigenous people in WA are banding together to demand back their stolen wages. I'm very dumb when I try to think ' politics' and politician's' decisions. Many seem to be motivated by $ and position' If I worked hard I did get a small pay - then that got taxed at 32 percent and a half in one dollar earned Howard introduced an extra 10 percent to workers.
