Don't forget the ACT - afterall, if those filthy, infected NSWelshmen can freely travel to the ACT, then they cannot, under any circumstances, be allowed to use the ACT as a jumping-off point to get into WA. The way their State Daddy is carrying on, WA will be forced to lock out
every state in Australia from around mid-December, if SA, the NT and Tasmania reopen too.

In response to that stance, WA Premier Mark McGowan said on Tuesday that he would wait and see what happened but would close the WA-SA border if necessary. "Obviously if South Australia then has community spread of the virus, they may regret that decision," he said. "
And if they do, well obviously we'd take health advice, but most likely we would close to that jurisdiction."
