RESTRICTER REGULATIONS?
West Australian Premier
Mark McGowan is seeking support from other state leaders to limit exemptions for leaving the country,
WAToday reports, after a quarantine infection in the wake of a return trip to a wedding in India sparked lockdowns in Perth and Peel.
McGowan, who warned the state would not lift its reduced travel cap unless the Commonwealth opens up new quarantine facilities, said it was too early to say if restrictions will ease tomorrow after WA recorded no new community cases yesterday and two at the end of last week.
Guardian Australia explains that Peter Dutton earlier knocked back McGowan’s call for the Commonwealth to do more when it comes to quarantine, insisting states had agreed to take responsibility and arguing the WA government had made a “mistake” by using a facility, the Mercure hotel, he says was identified as unsuitable.
