WA won't 'discriminate between states' on border closure: Premier

WA Premier Mark McGowan has confirmed the state’s hard border closure shall remain in place and there won’t be any “discriminating between states” on the issue. “We don’t have any community spread so we’ve opened up our businesses and our economy,” Mr McGowan told Sky News. He said the state has had a very simple, very easily understood and “very strict” stance on the border. “It’s protected our citizens,” he said. Mr McGowan ruled out opening the border to some states but not others, as has been announced will be the case in Queensland. “If you start discriminating between the states, that can cause some constitutional issues”. “The reality is that we don’t want to create that sort of ‘dog’s breakfast’ of arrangements that are now in place in the eastern states”.
