After almost two years of exchanging barbs over WA’s hard border, Premier Mark McGowan and billionaire Clive Palmer’s public spat continues, with McGowan to give evidence at the Federal Court in Sydney today.

It’s the latest in the long running case he said, he said, with the pair suing each other over comments they made during the height of the first wave of COVID in WA.

Palmer is upset that McGowan called him an enemy of the State among other things... while McGowan says he has been defamed in several interviews and statements.

The West’s Legal Affairs editor Tim Clarke unpacks the bizarre case.
