Boorloo / Perth, Western Australia
Our biggest news company Western Australian Newspapers with its ties to billionaires Kerry Stokes and Ginna Rinehart and its boosting of PHON is often fascist propaganda, stupid, hateful and repulsive.
And today they let it all hang out.
No Perth is not alright with this happening.

Paywalled I know, but the principle stands.
I don't teach at Applecross SHS (any more) but all schools should look at this.
"A public high school in Perth’s south has ditched house faction names commemorating ships linked to British colonisation of WA, partly because of their ‘deep pain’ for Aboriginal people."

I can't believe the CWA condones lemonade scones. Scandalous! I'm such a scone purist 🤣

So how do we protect the rest of #Australia from #AUKUS ?
I really feel LESS safe with AUKUS than without, we need a #DefenCe force to protect us from our ally's #defense force?

The shift of The West Australian away from being overwhelmingly focused on promoting the WA economy to desperate, often hysterically inept, attempts to move voters away from Labor, is in full view today with West Australian Newspapers doing a front page exposé of Albanese's attempts to build a secret cartel of iron ore mining companies.
Also: A shift in presentation from "AI to mark essays" to "robots to mark essays"

Let's juxtapose yesterday's The West Australian newspaper's editorial and today's front page cartoon?
Explicitly:
"Imagine being so riddled with hatred, so blinded by ideology and fraught with self-importance that you lose all semblance of self-awareness and with it abandon decency, enlightenment and civility and next day you put an image of the Treasurer of Australia positioned to bugger an emu on the front page of #Perth's daily newspaper".

Gina's Mouthpiece (formerly The West Australian, purveyor of parochial big business insularism) is controlled by individuals so deluded by their rarified elitism that they fail to see that "first strike this century" is something to celebrate, a sign that not everything is going the way of the billionaires.
A poke in the eye. ☑️

The Kerry Stokes - Gina Rinehart mouthpiece is continuing its pumping of Pauline Hanson.
Trying to do a Fox News - Trump 2016 project on Australia?
Or they've come to see that the LNP has gone permanently lame and that they need a new nag?
Or both?
Not often I feel better reading about Gina Rinehart.
But Gina and Elon deserve each other.
That Rinehart is the front page of the plummeting-credibility The West Australian may have something to do with Rinehart having put up the money for a colleague to get to 10% ownership of the company.
Editorial standards - "How low Madam/Sir?"

Alleged war crimes by Ben Roberts-Smith were addressed by every Australian's favourite billionaire-spoilt-brat fossil fuels promoter #GinaRhinehart.
Rhinehardt, very recently reported as being directly involved in the purchase of shares in Seven West Media that took the total shares owned by the beneficiary of her financial support to 10%, was reported in Seven West Media's newspaper The West Australian, Fri 29th May 2026, as saying,

Seems the rich and powerful in Perth want to make a joke of Jeffrey Epstein's child abuse network.
Got to wonder if they're Epstein Class themselves?

Local rag continues with its cover-up of the Gaza genocide.

Kerry Stoke's little rag is vile.
The West Australian newspaper
Stoking anti-trans hysteria.
(And Trumpist hate, Tony Abbott fascism, genocide denial.)
Kerry's moonshotting of ex-footballer joke Basil Zempilas into first mayor of Perth City and now leader of the opposition in the WA parliament speaks to Kerry's desire to control WA.

Local paper The West Australian, part of Kerry Stokes' 7 West Media, has been beating up the Murdoch press's demands for a Royal Commission into the Bondi killings.
And also been oh so soft on the killing of 49 Venezuelans in Trump's criminal attack.
"ousts dictator", "audacious raid", "rogue Latin American leader" - pretty rags to cover up violation of sovereingty, kidnapping and 49 murders.

#thewestaustralian letters on a royal commission into something. If you read them it kind of explains why a royal commission is a bad idea. #royalcommissions
Perth's gutter-clogging rag The West Australian (Kerry Stoke's Seven West Entertainment) is covering for Netanyahu's Gaza genocide.
More propaganda from the elites.

#thewestaustralian complaining about people “revelling” in #charliekirk death. This is the man who took one for the team so Americans have the freedom to own #guns…his own words. He believed some people will be sacrificed for that right. He doesn’t care, this man a father of 2 little girls, that children were the sacrifice.
I think people celebrating his death is a small thing compared how much he celebrated children’s deaths.
#thewestaustralian under the headline Andrews’ soirée with despots.
This included the
*The President of Indonesia (our neighbour)
* Romania officials…as soon as #Russia invaded #Ukraine they sent everything to help the Ukraines.
# Turkish officials (crazy but definitely a democracy)
This will bite the WA.

The local real estate and homeware flyer aka #TheWestAustralian has some fine #CorporateSpeak in an article about cuts to ambulance staff.
Text of quote in alt-text.
"Ambulance boss raises spectre of retreat from purpose"?

Hold on kids, Mrs R-- needs to have a rant about an article in The West...
... I believe they never should have abolished the Dip Ed in the first place. Reinstating it won't fix the teacher shortage, but it's a start.
The GradDipEd was a baptism of fire and the workload of cramming all your teaching study into a single postgrad year (while working your uni job) matched the workload you faced as a beginning teacher.
It was adequate preparation. The fact that I'm still in teaching, almost 20 years later, attests to this. And I'm offended by the implications in this article. If I'm good enough for one of Western Australia's most desirable public schools on a Dip Ed, there's surely nothing wrong with my training!

@DrALJONES @palestine and #thewestaustralian is publishing a weekly article on why #Israel should be allowed to do this.
#Perth, #WesternAustralia has it's upsides.
And then there is #TheWestAustralian.
Basically don't read it unless you've got a #NauseaFetish.
Below is today's editorial.
Remember this is #KerryStoke's paper.
And the local economy is more important than effective defense for Australia.
And that everything is Albo's fault.
And no judgement is passed on Trump.
#BumFodder or moral corruption of the gullible?
Thank goodness if they implement this in WA. GPs already have limited authority to prescribe here but can only issue the patient's current dose, as my son's GP confirmed at his last appointment.
In other ADHD-related-weirdness news, I know the percussive, Pavlovian sound of a shaken Concerta bottle, I realised with shock at the chemist when I got up to collect it without being called!

#thewestaustralian Super tax inflames housing calamity. #super #tax #katwong
* while in most cases or any other case I would agree with this possibility that this taxis only going to impact less then 1% of the population ie about 50000 people the impact on housing would be negligible. These guys would have investment in all sorts of stuff beyond most people’s wild dreams.
@fixatedpersonsunit
Poor #BasilZempilas
Claims to be a victim of a "smear campaign".
This is the dickhead who is supported by #KerryStokes newspapers #TheWestAustralian and #TheSundayTimes.
And Basil with that help got to be #LordMayorOfPerth.
And then proceeded to denigrate transgender women on his radio show.
Smear? Seems redundant.
#Perth's low-grade, LNP-promoting newspaper/real estate flyer, #TheWestAustralian had the below.
Suspecting genAI.
No journalist name, no researcher name, speaks of increase but shows no older figures. And the following ridiculousness?
"More than a third (34 per cent) reported a decline in their desire to work in science."
Yuckie, kinda like dried chook droppings.
#STEMEducation looks like it needs to include training in how to respond to bullying and harassment.
The local newspaper, The West Australian, owned I think by Kerry Stokes, burrowed into Trump's diapers and somewhere around his perineum declared itself to be between the devil and idiocy.
"basically presents a wish list that certain industry groups have been touting for years"

#Perth #WesternAustralia is poorly served by #TheWestAustralian newspaper.
And the state's voters shut out the RW big-business political party the #SoCalledLiberals at the last election.
So these little darlings are running around looking for #Relevance.
Sure it involves #FuckTheClimate, but what else can folk-like-this do?
#TheWestAustralian, the #DailyNewspaper for #Perth #Australia, in who a former Premier held controlling interests in shares and would tell the editor which stories would not be published, continues it's trash coverage and tries to inflame fears about #Refugees, and so increase support for #Dutton.
If you want to troll the archives then compare this story with coverage of Department of Immigration illegally "deporting" a mentally ill Aussie citizen while #AmandaVanstone was Minister.
#thewestaustralian doesn’t mention that WA is about to become a Nuclear Waste dump for the UK and USA. Part of the #aukus sub deal. I wonder how long it will take for them to find out. Trusting Stokes to be on the side of WA is a little pathetic.

From the front cover of The West Australian, a rag that would be totally abysmal but for the contrast with Fox News and Sky After Dark.
