Compare McGowan with HItler? Nobody is being gassed, no countries are being invaded and he won the last election in a landslide. This comparison shows a lot of ignorance. The key to his success is that he has been entirely consistant throughout. He's not perfect by any means, but he is not Hitler. He is a popular leader and doing a good job with Covid. When people start comparing others to Hitler they lose all their credibility.
The reason McGowan is so widely supported here is because we have a covid free lifestyle, while Gladys in Wonderland tells us we have to live with her mistakes (we've already had to live with the consequences of her Ruby Princess disaster). We don't have to live with her appalling, deadly mistakes. We want to keep the virus at bay until the vaccination rates are high enough to safely open the borders. NO matter what party you may support, he does represent the majority view here, that we won't be dictated to by someone like Gladys. Remember it is on her watch that allegedly infected drug dealers from Sydney have been taking the virus to aboriginal communities if you really must bring that card up.
We actually don't care what other states think we should do, others may scoff, but it is exactly this kind of sneering at the West from locked down states with destroyed economies which shows that we are a very different bunch of Australians. So McGowan doesn't want covid deaths of West Australians on his conscience like Dan and Gladys have? Why is that a bad thing?
Maybe all the sour grapes are because we are hosting the Grand Final in our Covid free state? Or just jealous that we can go about our daily lives without restrictions or masks?
