You can't get a booking at any of our tourist areas - they're fully booked.
WA is not experiencing "additional millions of people unemployed". Nor are our states businesses folding.
And the rate at which the state is being saddled with debt remains largely unchanged.
As for federal debt, better to have a chat with ScoMo.
The single biggest current threat to that position is for some virulent, ****-brained expeditioner to fly in and head straight to a night out at six of our (open, and unrestricted) night-spots.
Now tell me again, what is McGowan supposed to be doing wrong?
Hear hear! WA is doing very nicely, don't forget we've also had to deal with cruise ships and other vessels with infected people on board. I wasn't a huge fan of McGowan before all this (mainly due to the Barry Urban debacle) but he has shown, like some other premiers, that consistancyin leadership is what is needed. Others and their flip flopping around and trying to shift the blame around hasn't done any good in their states has actually killed rather a lot of people.
All my friends in the tourism industry have said they are busier than ever, booked up months ahead and having trouble getting staff to keep up with the demand. Sandgropers are realising that they live in the best place in the world and wanting to explore it more, especially after intrastate borders were lifted. Shopkeepers unable to get stock in fast enough to keep up with demand.
As for flying, my aviation business is busier than ever.
