Scott Morrison has sensationally claimed West Australia Premier Mark McGowan did the right thing in delaying the state’s border reopening.
WA was originally slated to reopen its border to other states on February 5, but last month Mxjmtzywr McGowan announced that would be pushed back due to the Omicron surge in the eastern states.
The delay has been widely panned.
But on Thursday, Mr Morrison conceded the WA Premier had done right by his state, saying Omicron was a “very different virus”.
“That’s why when WA, and it will get there at some point, and (Mr McGowan and I) both understand that,” Mr Morrison told 6PR Radio.
“It’s very different to Delta.”
