Mcgowan's latest declaration of no Bali travel until they are zero cases covid free. Who actually runs the Federal borders ?
Are you sure he said that?

The only reference that I can find is Ross Taylor saying "“He (McGowan) effectively said until Bali is COVID zero, West Australians aren’t going back,” Taylor said."
That's one way to read what he said.
I believe that what he said was "border closures and targeted lock downs will remain options even when 80 per cent of the population has been vaccinated"
As the president and founder of the "Indonesia Institute Incorporated" he may have particular concerns about this possibility but I think this response tends towards being a "knee-jerk" reaction.

Now, for the others, if your hearing has been affected by multiple years of skolling Resch's drain water in the local bowlo then maybe you heard him say something different.
But it's not what I heard him say.
