NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian's claim WA needs to cough up the cost of her state quarantining its returned citizens is outside the 'agreement and spirit' of National Cabinet, Premier Mark McGowan says.

"Each state agreed that whoever comes into our state would be taken care of by that state," Mr McGowan said.

"If I was unkind maybe I'd say … we should send a bill to the New South Wales Government for the Ruby Princess and all the trauma that caused all the other states. "Or maybe this is just a diversion by the New South Wales Government from the serious corruption that's been exposed from senior levels there."WA reported eight new cases of COVID-19 overnight, all of whom were returning citizens from overseas including two NSW residents."We currently have two people arriving in the last 24 hours from New South Wales who are COVID positive who we are looking after.

"He is 35 years of age, he's in Royal Perth Hospital in a negative pressure room as we speak," Mr McGowan said.

McGowan still talking about Ruby Princess? That was March! It's now October and he has done nothing to prepare WA to open. Sticking his head in the sand and keeping families and Australia apart

Great stuff MarkMcGowanMP totally agree tit for tat I say

Go Marky Mark. 😇

Yep send them the bill

We should send McGowan a bill for the damage to Live Export

Piss weak by NSW Premier, trying to deflect from her coruption.

Nice try NSW you infect the whole country with the RUBY PRINCESS haven't you cost the outher states enough already

what ever for ? The people who ended up in WA from Ruby where from ... WA. His responsibility.

Why aren’t the feds paying for Australian quarantine for international arrivals ? They are the ones that control international borders and decided the rules for international arrivals.

Too right, Send the silly cow a bill Mark ;-)

Don’t be mean each other. WA premier is mad too, he should know he cannot close WA next 100 years

You love to Whack him

That would set a huge precedence. I wonder how many bills Dandy Andy would get?

No, the bill goes to where it belongs and that be Dutton.

I think we call that...roasted!

Ok fine. We will pay for the Princess. Let’s take back our GST redistribution. See who comes out on top.

Here’s a thought, why don’t we split the bill between all states and territories? Aren’t we still one country! I think those boat owners are broke aren’t they🙄

And the cost to Victoria that the Ruby P has unleashed

lol...he now sounding like trump sending the bill for the wall to mexico...

Touché. That’s a great response!

Send Bill to CCP please.

Gladys is ridiculous. Wish she’d hurry up and resign.

Ah! Imagine if Scummo had not prevented the relevant people from attending the'enquiry' and it had been possible to know to whom the bill should be sent.

Mess with Mark Mcgowan and you'll get a sick burn.

Maaaaate just tell her to call a couple of mates/exes/insufficient status/potential fiance's and get some spare cash. Problem solved. Send it in the mail, probably get a nice watch as well. auspol nswpol

Exactly - back in your box Gladys.

How about WA getting rorted for about 20 years of GST. Fair dividends my arse.

she's got a cheek hasn't she

Well u can show your face re money issues. How about u make changes to yr Justice System Releasing Abusers granting Bail eg 11 year old committed suicide fm fear. Deaths of Indigenous in custody Ms. Dua still no accountability. These Lives Matter Too, just like yrs Mr. McGowan .

We all should send a bill to DUTTON

Yeah GladysB just add it the millions of dollars our state economy raised through our resource sector and funded NSW infrastructure boom.

Ruby Princess whitewash Not one Federal or State Minister gave evidence Absolutely disgraceful

This blokes a baby. Wasn't he bragging about a surplus not long ago?

Yes, WA should hit back every time Morrison opens his mouth. Morrison must love those National Cabinet meetings - WA, Queensland, Vic, NT and ACT - all labor Premiers.

All these labor socialist Premiers have cost the country more debt than a world war, time Morrison grew some balls and put them in line...........Socialist nutters.

Tell them all to grow up. This is why people can't stand politicians
