Some people trying to cause mischief with semantics about COVID-19 ‘elimination’: WA Premier

“It’s offensive, it was never about elimination. We know we can’t eliminate it. It’s suppression, it’s about no community transmission,” Mr Barilaro told 2GB radio on Tuesday.
But Mr McGowan said Mr Barilaro should “calm down”.
“The aim is to ensure there is no virus in the community — that is the national cabinet agreed position,” the Premier told reporters.
“I use the phrase ‘eliminate it in the community’, other people use the phrase ‘suppress it in the community’ but the aim is get rid of it in the community.
“This is all just semantics as to whether the appropriate word is elimination or suppression. My view is if the virus is in the community you kill it.
“NSW seems to think its OK to have the virus ticking along in the community and you just deal with it in individual suburbs.”
Asked if he would accept there was some confusion about the pandemic strategy due to semantics, Mr McGowan said: “I think this is people trying to cause mischief.”
