Travel to WA or QLD not on peoples radars until these attention seeking Premiers give some indication they won’t panic over a couple of Covid cases and slam borders shut😤

people can't be trusted to do the right thing, should have kept McGowan land locked down

Why we aren’t HQ in regional areas long before now is beyond belief. WA just another example of the huge economic impact this neglect has had on Australia.

Labor Prems looking after their own. Disgusting the politicisation of this all.

Mark ‘look at me’ McGowan.

Now people in Queensland and south Australia should all be kissing his feet in thanks and gratitude! He is the gate keeper and guardian and gawd of the west! Yet another power hungry Ahole!!!

Better late than never I guess...

Until your on the plane over here with no notice 👌

Just 2+ months scooting around in regional Vic. & NSW.

Piss off McGowan 🖕. Stop using border restrictions as a political weapon.

Never have a reason to go there...leisure or work...

Will we need to take passports?

Big deal

Aaaaand? So what! Schools in and summer is almost over

Schools back-missed everyone’s $$$

Who cares anymore about QLD and WA?! Who wants to go there anyway?
