Mc Gowan will have to watch out next year as he could get wedged politically between the all important 'Health Advice' and the economy.
From what I have read this is also impacting on people's decision to move to WA for work. People's mindset has changed since Covid.
And that’s why a decision is imminent. To be announced after Nat Cabinet on Friday, around when the state hits 80% DD.
As to a stated opening date, 90% 12+, it could be sooner than stated. Currently 88% first dose (remember how a lot of people said West Aussies were too complacent and wouldn’t even get 80%?), 90% comes in about 8 days. Then 4-5 weeks to dose 2, so could be Jan 10-20th potentially. May get that Ashes test squeezed in at the last moment. If they delay it then reopening is just a week or two later, hardly noticeable over a 2 year pandemic.
