Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he is continuing to work with WA Premier Mark McGowan on COVID-related issues affecting the west, with the current supply chain issue affecting food and grocery products on WA supermarket shelves top of the list.

While people on the east coast appear to be living normal lives with Omicron rampant in communities, that did not mean West Australians automatically could do the same.

“The virus has had a very different course in different parts of the country and that has been most stark in the west,” he told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.

“We dropped the [14 days] on the east coast because that was taking people off trucks, out of distribution centres, out of hospitals, out of schools.

“We’ve got kids back now here in NSW… my kids are back, I got a letter the other day saying ‘oh we had a case’, but they’re back at school today. They’re doing their thing, their education is continuing, we’re living with it here and our experience in the east is different to the west, and the west has done incredibly well.”

Mr Morrison said he always worked cooperatively with Mr McGowan, with the current supply chain crisis caused by flooding on the Trans National rail line top of the list.
