Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 665 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 15 September 2020 by Ms M.J. Davies

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — AGRICULTURE WORKERS

665. Ms M.J. DAVIES to the Premier:

I have a supplementary question. Craig and Michelle have had their G2G PASS application rejected five times since 7 August. What can be done to ensure that people with a legitimate reason to enter Western Australia do not have to wait weeks and endure multiple rejections?

Mr M. McGOWAN replied:

People go through the exemption process via the WA Police Force. That is what they do. That has been the situation now for six months.

Ms M.J. Davies interjected.

The SPEAKER: Leader of the National Party!

Mr M. McGOWAN: Does the member want us to bring down the border? Is the member's position to bring down the border?

Ms M.J. Davies: No, Premier.

Mr M. McGOWAN: Okay. Rather than coming in here and giving me a case with the two first names of people who I have never heard of before, the member gives me the details and I pass it to the police to analyse, as is the case with the thousands of cases we—all of us—have received that we pass to the authorities that manage these matters.
