Sounds like more than ‘Not many’ to me.
More people leaving than coming in...you might suppose a few of them would book through WA travel agents, buy a bag and some nice new clothes to travel from a WA shop, catch a WA taxi, park a car at the WA airport, buy meals at the WA airport, a book at the newsagent there, be checked in by a lovely WA employee of their airline as the WA bag handler drop kicks their bag, whilst the WA engineer checks their aircraft after being refuelled by the WA refueller just before being cleared for takeoff by the WA based tower controller...Or none of this so the premier can keep his ratings high as employment soars.
