That sucks for people in WA.
This also means no fans allowed at the local AFL derby - West Coast Eagles Vs Fremantle Dockers - this afternoon.
Stand strong.

Still, the derby will be held without an audience, according to the report.

Yes, it's bummer those Western derby's are highlight of the year. Looking forward to tuning in later.
Notice how they were able to reach the decision to hold event without fans in a matter of hours, and once decided they just went ahead and made the call because they already have plans and a protocol firmly in place.
Well played.

So stupid. If they want to lock down everytime the find another "infection", they can continue with that forever.

Circuit breakers to keep the most isolated city in the world Corona free. McGowan is going fully fledged savior and so far, it’s working for him. Bit over the top according to mates back home in Perth, especially if you are not a fan of the labor party which many aren’t, but hey they watch the news from around the world and get it. You’d be a mug to not lock this thing down if there’s a chance you can. Small inconvenient stops, then back to relatively normal life and footy until the next inevitable cluster hunt.

Just for future reference us Australians call the central government the Federal government.

Just employ people who have had covid and recovered to work at these places, either locals or immigrant labour. The world is not short of people who have had it.

You can get reinfected with covid.

I would say rather than racism, it is because the pandemic is raging in India which greatly increases the risks to Australian citizens in Australia. Quarantines only work as well as the weakest link and when close to 100% of citizens from one country are infected on arrival, it makes sense to institute temporary restrictions.
