Before we agree to open our borders one of two things must happen, a vaccine or a quick test similar to the lick drug test that can identify an infected person within minutes.
And what do you foresee happening if neither of those things come to fruition? Just keep the WA border closed for all eternity because that's what 2.2M people want? What about the other 23M Australian citizens? You don't think they should have a say in being able to enter WA? WA residents need to realise they are not their own country - even if they'd like to be - and the Constitution was framed so as to give protection to an individual citizen from protection against a State singling out their residence as grounds for discrimination. Same for trade & commerce.
