"...a popular opinion"... really
Are you serious?
What rock have you been hiding under not to see the bleeding obvious for the past three years in Perth?
It's cold hard FACT, not opinion and I see it daily, first hand! Multiple ambulances lined up outside the hospitals with sick pax waiting on board, even before the day has started.
It's no joke when multiple Hospitals call their Code Blue or Yellows even without any Covid issues.
A huge red flag indicating blatant long-term neglect, underfunding and mismanagement by the megalomaniac "Sneakers" McClown Govt, who is sitting a huge pile of gold coins. "Emporer with no clothes..."?
His neglect of the aviation industry there is the same.
TripleM Perth Tuesday morning talk back with Baz Zemplas had 4 out of the 5 callers saying open the border immediately, as it's killed businesses, families, Ag & crops (the list goes on).
Put simply, WA with just 2.4 million people is not self-sustaining. It requires industry, labour, cash & goods from interstate and overseas for the whole economy to survive. The last two years it's only been treading water, with only the public sector (Govt/Councils etc) being happy as Larry with their regular untouched incomes. It's been a private sector pandemic as many a business has shut shop for good. Just look around the city at all the vacant shops for lease. Sure, nowhere near as bad as Melbourne but still the same effect.
A wise man mentioned to me last week that this "pandemic" is not one about covid now but one about people's IQ.
