The divided states of Australia

Published

on

Social media has erupted with many labelling Australia as a “divided nation”

Western Australia is set to keep its hard border up to easter states until early 2022, with the Premier of WA, Mark McGowan hoping to see vaccination rates hit 90% before reopening.

Premier Mark McGowan wants to see vaccination rates of between 80 and 90 per cent before setting a date to allow NSW, Victoria and the ACT back into the state.

“We have opened at various points of time along this road and I expect we will open again once we get to very high levels of vaccination”

The state leader told a local media firm.

The Premier of the western state stated that he doubted eastern states would open to the west if the COVID scenario was roles reversed.

“Imagine if it was the other way around and Western Australia was the infected case with thousands of cases and NSW had none, or Victoria has none – would they really want to open to us? No.

In Western Australia, 34.2 per cent of people aged 16 and older are double dosed.

The rate in Queensland is 34.5 per cent, while the leading jurisdiction is the ACT on 45.9 per cent.

The Western Australian premier has vowed that he will continue to “do all that he can” to keep his state safe and free of COVID-19.

Over on Australia’s east coast, NSW, Victoria and the ACT remain in lockdown as the Delta variant continues to spread across eastern states.
