Stuff up from Morrison?
'Out of our control': WA Premier calls for federal support as 25 New Zealand travellers arrive in Perth 
Premier Mark McGowan has called for better management of the trans-Tasman travel bubble after 25 travellers from New Zealand arrived unannounced at Perth Airport without exemptions, just two days after the arrangement that excludes WA was put in place.
The 24 adults have been placed in hotel quarantine in Perth while one child is with a family member "somewhere in Perth" which Mr McGowan said was a "quarantine arrangement" often made for young children rather than placing them in a hotel room for two weeks.
It is unclear at this stage if the travellers are New Zealand citizens, dual citizens or Australian expats.
The one-way travel bubble agreement from New Zealand to New South Wales and the Northern Territory began on Friday.
Mr McGowan said the arrivals were unexpected and called for better management from federal government with taking in overseas travellers.
"Managing people coming from overseas is difficult, we would like further assistance from the Commonwealth," he said.
"We picked these people up on our app, our G2G app."
Mr McGowan said it wasn't an ideal situation, especially as the latest arrivals meant West Australians in "more vulnerable" locations would be displaced because of it.
"These people will come off our international arrival cap, so that means we'll have 25 people less coming from more vulnerable locations as a consequence of this," he said.
"This is not an ideal situation, we would prefer better management of these arrangements but this is something that has happened that is outside our control."
Don't worry me no think they'd welcome any omnivores in WA, they want to keep it pest free - two hardworking premiers
Returning Australians and travelling Kiwis cause travel headache for Morrison governmentOctober 21, 2020 6:19AMTOPICSCoronavirus (COVID-19)WA NewsNews
The Morrison government is struggling to deal with a surge of stranded Australians seeking to return home before Christmas.
The increase in numbers to 32,300, from 18,800 in late August, comes as the one-way New Zealand coronavirus travel bubble causes havoc among the states.
South Australia has overturned its initial plan to force NZ visitors to quarantine for 14 days, while Queensland is insisting any Kiwis seeking to visit must take the fortnight-long step.
A Senate estimates committee was told on Tuesday there were 32,300 Australians who have put their names forward to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to return, as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
The committee heard DFAT had advised the number would rise as that was the usual scenario in any crisis situation.

"The goal as stated by the prime minister was to get people home by Christmas," Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet deputy secretary Alison Frame said.
She said a multi-agency task force including the acting chief medical officer Paul Kelly had been working on the issue with the states and territories and airlines.
Modelling had been done to get all 4000 of the Australians listed as "vulnerable" home by Christmas, as well as gradually reduce the number of other Australians seeking to return, the committee heard.
A facilitated flight is due to deliver Australians to the Howard Springs facility outside Darwin on October 23.
The trans-Tasman travel bubble originally only supposed to include New Zealand, NSW and the Northern Territory.
But Kiwis have hopped on domestic flights to all corners of the country after touching down in Sydney.
Queensland again recorded no new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, with health officials completing 4080 coronavirus tests in the past 24 hours.
NSW reported two new locally transmitted cases and three more infections among returned travellers in hotel quarantine.
On Wednesday, Victoria recorded just three new cases and no deaths.
Melbourne's rolling 14-day average of cases and the number of infections with unknown sources continues to decline.
Who'd wanna go to Perth? Trolls still live there don't they? ....
Not meant to go into quarantine anyway coming from N.Z. Looks like your State Premier is as inept as Victoria's .....you just jealous you never got 55? haha Both airports should have had Border Control personnel there in the first place - simple!
ScoMo is doing a great job - would do even better if the Feds. had control of Australia and not these "power freaks" of State Premiers!
