'Seeps'.. like a wet rag.

But McGowan knows how to ‘crush and kill the virus’. Will it be a case of lockdown and locked in?

Mouthy McGowan will be fine he’s invested the precious mining money and GST in hospitals and vacations for regional communities.

I'm so disappointed with some of the ABC news reporting and opinion pieces lately. It all sounds so selfish.

Spooky! McGowen must be shitting himself. It’s coming. Covid is coming! The WA train wreck is on its way.

😱 How could this be, the border is closed?!

Control freak. Happy to lock the entire state as the big mining wages are spent on WA only.

In 20 years times WA become like the Amazon isolated peoples if outsiders goes there anything will kill them even the flu 😷

Good job lucky 🍀 13 😂🤪💩🦠🇦🇺☠️

That’s that then! ☹️

Let’s see now who WA premier blames now , ?

But no lives lost - put that in your header IstandWithMarkMcGowan

Hardly sweeping ….. wait till they get 5,000 per day and that’s sweeping!!!

This guy deserves the 'Nobel Prize For Covid Control' Yes?

YOU LOVE IT! BARELY CONTAINED CONTEMPT. I bet they are shitty it's not 50 cases.

Rest of Oz is locked out of WA so who will they blame for this 'seeping'?

“sweeps into”!

Really? Seeps?

Their heads will explode.
