Bec Penegar wiped away a tear as she described the predicament.
"Look, we know in a sense it's a first-world problem and we are glad for the restrictions and that people aren't getting sick from COVID-19 the way they are in other countries and that's the most important thing."We love what we do and we just want to come out the other side of this."The CEO of the Regional Chambers of Commerce of WA, Kitty Prodonovich, said the economies of small, northern towns like Exmouth and Broome were most vulnerable amid the pandemic shutdowns.
"We have faith in the directions the state and federal governments are taking but there needs to be some additional support specifically, for those north-west businesses."
