  2. Gee, the +50 year old Decentralisation flag has been restitched and run up the flag pole in 2026.

    Cookie will be winning votes in the regions now. The LNP may as well go Green.

    With all the $$$ sloshing round WA now, and the housing crisis ongoing, it's imaginable that some of these cities will actually be grown.

    But the chances of them getting a fair go from the Perthlings politically is less than slim.

  7. Public housing tenant to have dog removed and is sent to live 29km away as the crow flies.
    Dog act by Roger Cook's government. #Perth #WA #WAPublicService #RogerCook #PublicHousing #HousingCrisis #HopeGrainger

  8. Domestic life and commercial contracts don't mix well.

    Lease contracts here in Perth heavily favour the property owner, and frequently see their agents using the power imbalance to oppress and harass renters.
    But #RogerCook's government is OK with that.
    I did a #CELTA - 8 wk pressure cooker course - prepaid. Get sick? You get no refund on thousand$$.

    But somewhere I think there is a line. And I think "No refunds", if in the contract, was OK

  13. WA government is ‘spinning’ the results of community survey into Burswood Park racetrack and community hub, locals say

  14. You can say what you like about #AlboMP.

    But overseeing the destruction of the ancient rock art of #WA's NorthWest is a dog act.

    #DogAct - Australian criminal cant for an action befitting the lowest of the low. (So low that they'd shop someone.)

    See too what #RogerCook's WA government covered up,
    "Scientist expresses concern WA government department interferred with rock art report linked to North West Shelf approval process"

  15. CW: obscene reference

    “Chevron does the bare minimum in this regard, but does its very best in facilitating its contractors to avoid complying with Australian workplace laws.” - #KyleMcGinn May 2025.

    Cookie at least remembered to take off his Chevron shirt off before defending the great American benefactor of WA.

    Well said Roger. Here's a baby wipe for those lips.

  16. Antony Green has delivered the killing blow to the hopes of any RWNJs who thought they had a chance of winning. Roger Cook has been voted-in to give Labour another term to govern Western Australia.

    Western Australia continues to be a wasteland for the LNP. I wish I could say it's because the ALP are brilliant strategists or have amazing policies, but it's starting to seem the ALP has been coasting for years, and the LNP have been a hot mess for years.

    A stand-out example of this is Liberal candidate, Basil Zempilas, who said to the ABC that he's the victim of a massive smear campaign. In reality, the only person smearing Basil Zempilas is Basil Zempilas — he defames himself every time he opens his mouth.

    It's too early to say with any precision, but I would like to think that when the final votes are counted, the LNP have a similarly dismal presence in Parliament as last term, when Labor won 53 out of 59 of the seats.
