What I said shouldn't be taken as anti-McGowan at all. I'm very happy with how this has worked out for WA.
I think one of the only purposes of government is to protect it's people and it's doing that.
What I said was that there is no way McGowan comes out of this court case anything but a winner. He should put forward an agenda for the next ten years and take it to an election as soon as feasible, the ALP will win in a landslide.
or john howard the ogOk, I just laugh at the libs who are giving him a hard time about it.. rewind to the abbot years 're borders
Re Clive Palmer's High Court case that WA's hard border closure is unconstitutional. Just so he can attend some meetings at mines or hang out with his inner circle Boys Club in WA
Surely it's also unconstitutional to knowingly put West Australian lives at risk? If COVID breaks out here again like Victoria, people will die....

Even funnier that he says he laughs about it... yet it’s a completely different thing.Can you really not understand the difference between closing the borders between states and actual immigration?
They are not even remotely related.

During a pandemic...I'd rather them stay closed. See Victorian why.
Except Qld is not Victoria and many of the states we are closing our borders to have similar or lower rates of infection than WA does.
Queensland is closing their borders to NSW. Why would we start to loosen them.. cause of some fat rich prick. What the.
Haven't met one Western Australian that wants the borders to open. Where are you based?Because it's unconstitutional and achieves nothing. And it's keeping people out of work despite the fact it achieves nothing.
The real question is why so many numpties in WA think it's so effective when WA's record is no better than any of the other states (except Victoria).

Who is it keeping out of work by the way? Mining is in full boom and logistics/transportation has an exemption to cross the border. Tourism? Is it the border that is stopping the work or the social distancing measures that every state is mean to be doing?
Have you got skin in the game? How is the border closure hurting your hip pocket? Honestly find it only seems to be selfish people that want it to open.

We all have skin in the game. The border closure helps nobody and hurts everybody. It's just a bad policy.
Most who want it open are the anti covid anti vax loonies
Which is fine but has nothing to do with what you were laughing about.During a pandemic...I'd rather them stay closed. See Victorian why.

I don’t have a very strong opinion on open state boarders vs closed.
what was funny was you laughing at libs who want tough borders etc but then want state borders open. The funniest part about that is that state borders and national borders are a completely different argument and to conflate the two is in fact laughable. Make sense?
Here's a question that I asked myself and reflected upon
What are the benefits of an open border compared to closed?
Both have negative consequences. I feel the state government are doing the right thing at the moment.
But, when there's a pandemic.........it changes.
What are the negative consequences of opening the state border to states that have similar or lower covid 19 infection rates than WA?
Nobody has even attempted to answer that question.
There's zero evidence that the border closure does anything since we are closing the border to people who don't have the virus.
It is essentially no different than saying that people south of the river can't cross north of the river. Because reasons.
