Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he is hopeful Western Australia will re–open by late December. No doubt that will be on his Santa list and the Santa list of thousands of West Australians too. 

I hate to break it to you, PM, but at the rate we are going, Santa ain’t even gonna get an exemption into this state. 

Mr Morrison, you and the rest of Australia (who probably believe that WA does not need their business) have been wedged and snookered by a very savvy political operator.  

Premier Mark McGowan knows politics.
