I refer to those people entering Western Australia (WA) under current COVID restrictions, and ask:
(a) Has the government set a cap on the number of people approved to return to WA each week:
(i) If so, what is the cap;
(ii) If so, does the cap include those with exemptions from quarantine; and
(iii) If so, what is the basis for setting this cap, and when was it put in place;
(b) Can the Premier list the number of people who have sought a G2G entry
and been approved to enter WA on a weekly basis from the start of
current COVID restrictions to the present;
(c) Is there a limit to the number of people who can be approved to return to WA; and
(d) Has any special resource allocation been given to processing and
managing those Western Australians who find themselves trying to return
home from other states or overseas?
