CORONAVIRUS — INTERSTATE TRAVEL
RESTRICTIONS — NEW ZEALANDERS
1142. Hon PETER COLLIER to
the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I ask this question on behalf of Hon Jim Chown, who is on
urgent parliamentary business.
I refer to two points: first, Premier McGowan's claim
that 23 New Zealanders slipped into Western Australia over the weekend without
exemptions; and, second, Commissioner of Police Chris Dawson's comments
that most of those 23 New Zealanders had
legitimate reasons and pre-approved exemptions to enter WA. Which of the two
claims is correct: that of Premier McGowan or that of Commissioner of
Police Chris Dawson?
