Western Australians speak their minds on border situation

Western Australia will stay closed for Christmas with its border not reopening until at least late January.

WA premier Mark McGowan says waiting to lift restrictions until the state achieves 90% vaccination coverage of people aged 12 and above will save lives.

We asked our listeners what they thought, and we received a mixed response. Many believe McGowan is a hero keeping West Australians safe….while others say they want to be allowed to travel to see their loved ones like the rest of Australia.

Jenna Clarke is deputy editor The West Australian and presenter on MMM Perth Breakfast. Jenna tells us what it’s like behind the WA curtain….and if McGowan’s Covid approach is going to cost Prime Minister Scott Morrison seats at the upcoming federal election.
