"&lt;p&gt;Western Australia&amp;apos;s Premier Mark McGowan has called on Clive Palmer to withdraw his legal bid to end the state&amp;apos;s hard border after the government withdrew its challenge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mr McGowan said Prime Minister Scott Morrison wrote to him to confirm the Commonwealth will withdraw from Mr Palmer&amp;apos;s challenge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The billionaire businessman filed court proceedings this week after he was denied entry into the state.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WA&amp;apos;s border restrictions remain the toughest in the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The border will stay in place and we will fight Mr Palmer in the High Court,&amp;quot; Mr McGowan told reporters today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Mr Palmer should withdraw. He is showing himself to be Australia&amp;apos;s greatest egomaniac.&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s time to listen. Withdraw your case.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The real thing is Mr Palmer can now solve this matter by withdrawing his action... he&amp;apos;s only acting in his own interests. He&amp;apos;s an Olympic-scale narcissist.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;"
