If other states like WA were genuinely concerned about their low number of COVID cases exploding they would have permanently isolated their ever-so-vulnerable mining areas and workers from Perth itself.

At this present time there is no good reason why WA shouldn’t be allowing restriction free travel with states like QLD/SA/NT/TAS. By all means review that on a daily basis.

If the Premiers continue to push the “safe health of their citizens” as their reasoning then they should be consistent and also stop non essential travel for INTRAstate flying. Eg PER-BME, BNE-CNS for fear of spreading it further. Oh wait- that would effect their own state economy. Silly me!

The term “Aussie Fighting Spirit” is dead.
