No imminent news on Scally re-opening in the light of the expected roadmap from the Australian PM tomorrow. But the region could just spring a surprise given its remoteness - but lack of further feedback from any talks with Martu people does not suggest it will be in the next couple of weeks.From "Perth now": Western Australia could go further than other states in loosening restrictions when it maps out its coronavirus economic recovery plan.Premier Mark McGowan will on Sunday outline which restrictions will next be eased, with the government’s focus on changes that will stimulate the economy.Under a three-step national plan, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has recommended first re-opening cafes, restaurants, playgrounds and bootcamps.Speaking before Friday’s national cabinet meeting, Mr McGowan said WA was well-placed to ease restrictions with just nine cases remaining active.“WA has the opportunity to be more economically progressive perhaps than other states,” he said.“We can potentially loosen restrictions to a greater degree than the eastern states, but that’s a decision the state disaster council will make.”
