Why am I always singling out WA and Qld? No, it ain't politics, I don't subscribe to either Labor or Liberal, rather I genuinely believe they're
all a pack of asreholes and you're only voting on who is going to use the most lube while they screw you over...
But, to actually answer your question, for WA simply because I work there, and their standard response is to lock out everyone from NSW, not just the LGA. By the end of this dance, I will be
well over $100K out of pocket because I cannot get to work. I had 11 months off work last year, burning through what leave I could access at half-pay, then going on LWOP. I am going on LWOP
again now because I am in NSW and can't get to work, even though I live in an LGA that has had exactly
zero local cases,
since Covid began! But obviously, the 'expert' health advice being given by the WA CHO is that we're all too much of a risk out here in the sticks of NSW, so I'm SOL, along with dozens of colleagues.
But you've raised Tasmania, so let's consider what would happen if I worked in the apple aisle:

South Australia is copying WA and locking out anyone and everyone from NSW,
no matter if you live in Walgett, Wyong or Waverly! The difference is, only one of those places has Covid issues...
And as for Queensland, no one in NSW is going to let her off the hook after her
"Queensland hospitals are for Queenslanders!" comment that led to the death of an infant, even if indirectly. Nor are they going to forgive the impact on NSW citizens who live in Northern NSW and their being locked out of Queensland, while at the same time, the Queen-P's-Land CHO openly declared "if you're famous, a footy player, or are going to bring some $$ with you, we'll welcome you with open arms!" while at the same time, thumbing her nose at everyone else.
So no, it isn't politics, if you treat Australian citizens like shyte, expect to be called out on it.
