Liberal senator Jane Hume was also on ABC Breakfast this morning, where she was walking back Michaelia Cash’s comments:
I think Michaelia Cash has been misinterpreted there. There’s going to be no high court challenge to borders but what she was ...
No, I think she’s saying the reasoning behind that high court challenge last year that was taken out by the reasoning behind that really be have diminished once we reach those vaccination rates. Again, while we’re also urging people to go to the ATO website (for super information, her beat), we’re also urging people to get themselves vaccinated so we can stick to the national plan and reopen our borders and get back to life as we knew it.
Tanya Plibersek appeared on ABC News Breakfast this morning, where she was asked about the possibility border closures could be challenged in the high court again (which Michaelia Cash spoke about in an interview with the Australian, something Scott Morrison probably won’t be too pleased about, given he has been distancing the government from a previous challenge this week).
Here is what Plibersek had to say:
Court challenges are ridiculous and you saw just how popular Clive Palmer’s last effort, supported by Scott Morrison it is important to say.
When Clive Palmer wanted to take the West Australian government to court, I think he united every West Australian against him. We support the national plan to reopen Australia. People are sick of the lockdowns.
