A new year, but a similar story.
Anyone who thought the end of 2020 would mean a farewell to the uncertainty and occasional chaos around Western Australia s border has had a rude awakening.
As the events of the past few days have shown, WA s border situation is still extremely precarious and can change in an instant.
