Sky News host Paul Murray says it is “bog-stupid” of WA Premier Mark McGowan to skip attending National Cabinet to avoid being in the same room as Premier Steven Marshall because South Australia still has COVID-19 cases.

The West Australian reported on Wednesday Premier McGowan would skip National Cabinet over the concerns.

“Think about how bog-stupid this is,” Mr Murray said.

“Mark McGowan will win by a country mile in the upcoming state election … but if you think this bloke deserves to win because he’s a ‘good leader’, you’re wrong.”
