seriously? October before non-visa holders can enter NZ. Makes McGowan look reckless

Not at all. She's set a date at least - McGowan won't even do that. Last I heard was when 80% of everyone over 12 has had their 138th booster shot, and even then he'll probably push it back further. I genuinely wonder if he'll even still be their State Daddy when the border's reopen...
McGowan is in big trouble. The tide has turned against him, his goose is well and truly cooked, basted in a petard all of his own making.
He need's to set a date and stick to it.
Meantime, a report in the Oz this morning detailing 4 out of 5 Covid positive people recently tested on the Gold Coast had no symptoms at all.
This is what we're hiding from. Amazing.

Reports from associates on site in Kiribati are that random testing there is showing the same - positive but asymptomatic.

Ardern looked like a scared possum at the announcement this morning.
Her reputation has taken a smashing in international media over the last 72 hours.
I'll be heading over the dutch in late March when they reduce the iso time to 7 days - but even that's unnecessary now.
And I'll sure as hell be voting blue at the next NZ election - Labour are utterly useless.

Buzz, believe the polls if you want. I am on the ground, talking to many, many people.
The evidence is clear, and the drums are beating within the Labor party.
And whether or not he cares what folks think outside of WA is irrelevant.
He's wedged himself securely between his broken promise to re-open and his claim the health care system can cope.
A point deftly made by Scotty from marketing this morning.

He’s lost those who want the borders open, and he’ll lose those that want it kept shut, when he inevitably opens it. Political rookie. He will have very little support, and realistically, he’s got no choice.
sorry, this is supposed to be about the Kiwis

Perhaps Scotty would have had the borders opened last year if he pulled everyone out of Fleet Base West & Pearce and redeployed them to the East coast...I'd imagine flogging off the land would've raised a few quid that could offset the budget deficit, even though he now appears to have changed his tune since he realised he needs those pesky WA votes to try to stay in power beyond May..
There are a variety of polls showing very different results. Just Google “WA border poll” and you will see. AMA poll of 1500 members had a slight majority for opening up. Pretty obvious there is growing concern over McGowans credibility. The media are finally putting a bit of pressure on him and his scare tactics. His misrepresentation of facts is becoming more obvious and under more scrutiny. The guy is a dullard, even admitting he had to get his teenage son to set up his Service WA app. Maybe he should get his son to run the health system.
Scott Morrison’s huge call on West Australian border
Where's your evidence the drums are beating within the Labor party?
Since when do any of the state premiers act in the best interests of the Federation in preference to the perceived interests of their own state? Rightly or wrongly, none of them do. Ever.
McGowan is not the only official to have made similar comments about setting up the Service WA app. It has been widely criticised as too complicated, because for security purposes it relies on the user having a MyGovID account, something that has been problematic for a lot of people. I believe it was the Police Commissioner who first made the comment, when he said in jest that people should perhaps try asking a 16-year old to set it up, because they are generally more adept than most at using screen technology.

NZ could open fully, WA could open fully either way air travel demand is lower than ever. We have been sent of forced leave, multiple shifts canned as of now the airports in ML and SY are empty as.
