Rebecca Judd says she’s ‘going to be on one of the first flights to Perth’ once the borders reopen

She’s currently isolating inside her $7.3million Melbourne mansion with her husband Chris Judd and their four young children.

But on Friday, Rebecca Judd, 36, said she is ‘going to be on one of the first flights to Perth‘ once the borders reopen.

The WAG reposted Premier Mark McGowan’s statement to Instagram, in which he claimed there is ‘no economic benefit’ to opening Western Australia’s borders and said this isn’t true.

‘WA is bloody beautiful and I know many people from eastern states who can’t wait to flood WA tourist destinations,’ Rebecca wrote.

She went on to reveal the destinations she’d like to visit include Broome, South West, Exmouth, Crown Perth and Samphire Rottnest.

‘I’ll be on one of the first flights to Perth once allowed to. I understand it will take a bit longer from Victoria but we are getting there,’ she continued.

‘Can’t wait to visit WA when safe to do so,’ she ended.

On Thursday, the Premier claimed that reopening the borders to South Australia and the Northern Territory would provide WA with no economic benefit.

The state has not recorded a case of coronavirus in the community for 175 days, but still refuses to open up – even to other safe states such as the NT and SA.

Mr McGowan said there is no point in pursuing a travel bubble because it would only encourage Western Australians to leave the state and bring few tourists in.

‘There is no benefit. All we’ll do is lose jobs were we to open to those [jurisdictions],’ he said.

‘The other states want us to open the border so that West Australian tourists will flood east, not so that people from the east will come here.

‘They’re only saying all this for very self-interested reasons because we have higher incomes, we have people that are more used to travelling and therefore we’ll have more tourists go from Western Australia to the east.’
