Western Australia has refused to sign up to Scott Morrison's plan to reopen state borders by Christmas while Queensland has expressed reservations after the prime minister declared most states and territories had backed the goal.

The prime minister emerged from a national cabinet meeting on Friday saying that WA was the only jurisdiction not to give in-principle support to the plan to ease restrictions - although he also conceded more work was needed on the definition of a coronavirus hotspot.
