Quote from: Surferdude on November 07, 2020, 20:49:10I have a somewhat unrelated question for our West Australian friends.NSW Premier, Gladys is hoeing into our Premier, Annastacia, big time over border closures. (I admit, I can't spell either of their surnames). Although some wags are suggesting Gladys' last name is "Veryjigglycans". Yet, from what I can see the WA borders are just as closed.What's the general opinion on them amongst the man (and woman) in the street?The recent Qld election result suggests a significant majority of Queenslanders are in favour of the restrictions.Our borders are going to be opening up, but the feeling on the street is that a lot of people are in favour of closed borders.I live about forty minutes away from Rockingham which is where our Premier Mark McGowan lives. On any given Saturday morning you'll see him walking down the cafe strip and he's treated like a rock star, people stopping to talk, take selfies, etc. He even stopped a couple of months ago to discuss my Hairy Lime P76, lol.I think it's time borders were opened up now personally (and they are) and that it was becoming a bit of a "re-election issue" (March 2021) rather than a "public health issue" but in any event, his border closure measures were seen as very popular especially as we had such low COVID rates.

Pretty much the same here. I've never voted Labor in my life but the McGowan government has actually done a pretty good job with COVID and the Libs here are pathetic at the moment, with no leadership, so although I won't be helping him, McGowan will easily win re-election in March IMO.

No problems on the coffee...name your time and date.....Just curious....isn't our borders going to open on the 14th November. If that is the case Clive Palmer could have saved himself a lot of dollars in court fees to get our borders open. Since he lost the court case , I wonder how much it cost him to go through the courts?
Hi John, Nice to hear from you!I'm guessing you are another Trump fan?

I also had a good school friend that ended up on the front bench of the labor party with the big fat one from WA. Because of what I learned as to how the two parties work, I really don't want to play with politics. As for the benefits they get, well thats another story
