WA is fortunate.

1) Perth is the literal definition of "not on the road to anywhere" Our international flights were few, limited to few cities, and mostly cater only for locals.

2) There are only two sealed roads into WA, and they are very long.

3) For the last 150 years, the only consistent government policy, from both sides, is that they blame everything on Canberra and "Over East."
So quickly closing the borders, and blaming covid on "everyone else" was an easy and popular decision.

4) McGowan is savvy enough to realise that if Covid does get in here, we will be royally screwed, and his popularity will drop faster than a Frenchman's trousers.
