At national cabinet, as a nation, we
have discussed and been committed to suppressing and flattening the curve as much as humanly possible. Clearly, in the case of Western
Australia, like South Australia and the Northern Territory , we have been
very successful as a state. Our population has embraced the measures necessary
to drive down the rate of infection. Our infection levels are now very low. The
main threats to the state are international visitors and potential infection
from the more infected states of New South Wales and Victoria.
