  • WA’S UPDATED TRANSITION PLAN

    Mr McGowan:

    This evening, I would like to provide you with an update on our Safe Transition Plan, which we first announced in November.
    This plan was based on the impact of the Delta variant, which was prevalent in the Eastern States for six months, after it first emerged in NSW in June last year.
    Under that plan - modelling at the time indicated we would peak at 338 daily cases, with 62 hospitalisations, and one life lost each day.
    Unfortunately, the world changed in December - Omicron arrived.
    Omicron is a whole new threat that we can’t ignore. And right now we don’t know the full picture of what Omicron could mean – but we do know how easily transmissible and infectious it is.
    There is insufficient data to make any meaningful assumptions of what it will look like once Omicron takes full effect and case numbers peak over east.
    But we know there has been a surge in hospitalisations around Australia, with an average of almost 5,000 Australians hospitalised a day since the start of the year with COVID-19.
    And tragically, in just 19 days of 2022, we have seen 664 Australians lose their lives to COVID-19.
    It would be irresponsible and reckless for the State Government to
    gnore the facts and ignore the reality of the situation playing out on the east coast.
    Allowing hundreds or thousands of Omicron infected people to fly straight into Perth from 5 February, with no testing, no quarantine and no public health measures, would cause a flood of COVID-19 across our State.
    It would cause a surge in cases, a surge in hospitalisations and result in thousands of people not being able to work or go to school.
    It would cripple our community, like it’s doing on the east coast.
    What we do know about Omicron so far is that a third dose of the vaccine is so vital in giving people effective protection.
    We currently sit at 25.8% of third doses for Western Australians aged 16 and over.
    But we can lift the third doses rate significantly, and we can give ourselves the best chance to vaccinate our children.
    If we can hold back this current Omicron outbreak, we will be one of the only places in the world that can achieve a high third dose rate before we reach widespread community transmission.

    WA’S UPDATED TRANSITION PLAN
    In light of what’s occurred in the rest of the country, having closely assessed the situation over east and listening to the latest health advice, we have reworked WA’s Safe Transition Plan to fit the environment that now confronts us.
    So, from 12:01am on Saturday February 5, a new hard border will be in place with a focus on both safety and compassion.
    Under the new hard border settings, approved travellers are permitted to enter WA, or leave WA and return, with testing and quarantine requirements under the new expanded exemption criteria:
    - Returning Western Australians, with strong recent connections or direct legitimate family connections with WA;
    - Compassionate grounds including funeral, palliative care or terminally ill visitation;
    - Member of the family of an approved traveller;
    - People entering for urgent and essential medical treatment;
    - Reasons of national and state security;
    - Commonwealth and State officials, Members of Parliament, Diplomats;
    - Provision of specialist skills not available in WA, health services, emergency service workers;
    - People required to attend court matters, judicial officers and staff of court, tribunals and commissions; and
    - Special considerations and extraordinary circumstances determined by the State Emergency Coordinator or Chief Health Officer.
    ---
    INTERSTATE TRAVEL
    If you’re coming from interstate as an approved traveller, you will need to meet the following requirements:
    - Have an approved G2G Pass, under new exemption criteria;
    - Be triple dose vaccinated if eligible (double dose vaccinated if not eligible for third);
    - Provide proof of a negative Rapid Antigen Test within 24 hours before departure;
    - Undertake 14 days of self-quarantine at a suitable premises, with the same requirements for household members at the self-quarantine premises;
    - PCR testing within 48 hours of arrival and on day 12 of self-quarantine, and household members will also be required to do a PCR test on the traveller’s day 12.
    - Subject to mandatory use of G2G Now and in-person checks by WA Police as required
    Additional requirements are in place for domestic road travel to keep WA safe:
    - Approved domestic travellers to limit travel to 1,500km from road borders, to enable people to travel by road to suitable premises for quarantine in Perth from Eucla;
    - Entry at the Kununurra border only for transport, freight and logistics and border community residents;
    - Restricted travel into remote Aboriginal communities.
    ----
    OVERSEAS TRAVEL
    International travel into WA will be permitted with the following requirements:
    - Meet the Commonwealth requirements to enter Australia under the arrivals cap;
    - Undertake 14 days of mandatory quarantine including, seven days in hotel quarantine and seven days of self-quarantine at suitable premise, if eligible,
    - PCR testing on days one, six, nine and 12, and household members will also be required to do a PCR test on the traveller’s day 12
    - Subject to mandatory use of G2G Now and in-person checks by WA Police as required
    - International travel in-directly into WA via another state or territory will be subject to the same entry and quarantine requirements as domestic travellers
    Current entry arrangements remain unchanged for transport, freight and logistics, maritime, aircraft crew, rig/platform and specific industries approved by the State Emergency Coordinator and Chief Health Officer.
    Future review of border controls will be considered over the course of the next month.
    ----
    I know this decision will be unpopular for many people as holiday plans and family gatherings will have been disrupted.
    For that I am very sorry.
    I understand that many people have planned around this date, and it is important we now provide people with a pathway to reconnect with families, on compassionate grounds, in a safe manner.
    WA will be taking on more risk as many people enter under compassionate grounds from 5 February.
    But if we proceeded with the original plan, we would be deliberately seeding thousands of COVID-19 cases into WA, at this point in time that is not what I’m going to do, especially when the science says we need to boost third doses – and so many young children still need to get their vaccine.
    We know the “let it rip” strategy, with low third dose vaccine levels, doesn't work.
    That is why a review to further easing of the new hard border controls will be taken over the course of the next month - once the east coast has reached the peak of infection, and we have a better understanding of the true impact of Omicron.
    We have an opportunity to do better - and that is exactly what we will strive to do.

    Zitat von traummann

    Wenn ihr die Einreisekarte kennen würdet, dann wären nicht so blöde Kommentare gekommen.

    Hier steht unter Punt 1 : Eventuell verbotene oder Einschränkungen unterliegende Waren, z.B. Arzneimittel, Steroide, illegale Pornografie, Schusswaffen, Waffen.

    Was ist jetzt an meiner Frage doof. Ich würde mich an eurer Stelle erst mal vorher informieren, und nicht so blödes Zeug schreiben.

    So jetzt habt ihr bestimmt wieder was zu meckern.

    Nun, ich hatte mir das Einreiseformular nochmal angeschaut, bevor ich gepostet hab. Deshalb auch meine Antwort: "kommt drauf an". Woher soll ich wissen, was du für Medikamente hast und ob die evtl. hier in Australien nicht zugelassen sind und deshalb verboten sind?

    Uns zu unterstellen, wir würden uns nicht informieren und blödes Zeug schreiben, das ist allerdings schon sehr verwegen.

  • Mal danke sag..

    an @nna, die den post : „wo bin ich?“ gestartet hat und deshalb mein Problem mit meinen Bildern auf DVDs wieder dringend gelöst werden musste.
    und an Rupi, der mir mit seinen Ratschlägen auf die Sprünge geholfen hat.
    Und dann ein Lob an Australia Post, die das Päckchen mit dem apple dvd player heute schon ausgeliefert hat. Dienstag am späten Abend bestellt, heute mittag angekommen… Sydney - Albany 3Tage, das ist ein Rekord!
