Premier Mark McGowan has called for better management of the trans-Tasman travel bubble after 23 travellers from New Zealand arrived unannounced at Perth Airport, just two days after the arrangement that excludes Western Australia was put in place

.

Mr McGowan on Sunday said the 23 arrivals into Perth were unexpected and called for better management from federal government with taking in overseas travellers.“We would like further assistance from the Commonwealth, in particular about making sure those people who come on aircraft into WA we get proper manifest and proper advice so we can manage these people.”

“Those manifests would now be far more helpful in monitoring and controlling people coming from overseas who may well be COVID positive. We can’t control what the airlines do.” “This is not an ideal situation, we would prefer better management of these arrangements but this is something that has happened that is outside our control.

Opposition leader Liza Harvey accused the Premier of “playing politics with the borders” and show more compassion for stranded West Australians who want to reunite with their families in time for Christmas. “All he has to do is pick up the phone and call the Prime Minister and the cap on the number of people allowed to return to Perth would be increased.

seems that Kiwi's have travelled thru all infected States to get to W.A, i thought the border was still shut, do Kiwi's wish to share the virus with us? give an inch they take a mile, not happy Jane!

Whos monitoring all of this. How incompetent

Hey TimWilsonMP why aren’t you complaining about WA ?

SallyLawry Look forward to your follow up with PMO, Dutton etc about what action Feds are taking. Ask them where Coleman is too. If he is ill, country still has a right to know. Unacceptable MIA for 10 months.

They come from NZ the ALP champion of the world with zero cases that’s is idiotic

Fed Gov goes at Victoria for not keeping track of quarantine program but Fed Gov can't track a damn plane arrival? 'Tough on borders' ain't shit Scomo.

How the fuck do travelers from NZ just ‘arrive’ in Perth from Sydney when Sydney-siders themselves can’t travel to Perth MarkMcGowanMP? If this is happening WA has bigger problems with its border controls than a few rogue Kiwis! CovidWA

I've always assumed that it's only the Sydney and Darwin airports that are open to no-quarantine passengers from Auckland. After arrival, they're free to do what anyone else who's here can do

He is the one that’s closed his border, so it’s up to him to manage it

Wake up dumbo

Another LiberalAus party international border control blunder.

Which idiot decided to have a “trans Tasman bubble” when all the states aren’t even open to each other Amateur hour.

If u are closing ur boarders, it’s your responsibility not anyone else.

It must be Dan's fault

Why is there an issue, NZ have eradicated covid

Funny little game played by Morrison & Co. Open up a bubble with no controls on forward travel. How hard is it to put checks in place to ensure people flying to WA have the right paperwork before stepping on the plane?

Who cares. Enough of this nonsense its a nursing home virus.

🤣🤣🤣

Many people requesting border crossing on compassionate grounds denied but NZ passengers just fly in ? Bizarre !!!

Oh! Herdimmunity lockdown Sweden

So will Alan Tudge blame this on Dan Andrews as well?

One minute the left is praising New Zealand for eradicating the virus and how healthy their people are!! The next, they are disgusted that these people are allowed in!?!?!? what are these gonna do, boost the amount of healthy people in the state?

He doesn’t own the country we live in, he works for us!! Our borders are not seperate countries!!!

The Feds are trying to force their discredited 'herd immunity' on to the states by stealth. It's a disgrace

What a ridiculous Fed Govt/ NSW govt debacle. Deport any who gamed rules and quarantine the rest as per Austn rules for travel from NSW.

What are these labor premiers crying about They all came from NZ which is virus free. These premiers would do anything to stay in the news

Open all the borders, there fixed 👍

How can a plane be unannounced?

Out of control Dutton !

23 travellers? What the hell is going on?

He’s stressing out.
