Astonishingly, there is still a grass roots core of true classical liberals (in the English sense), despite the parliamentary party quite deservedly being decimated.
Love it. Would love to se you going had to head with The Hyphen
Wayne though I may appear as a labour voter/follower it is more of who our elected Rep is that is of more interst to me. If i feel he/she is worthy of my vote that's where it goes either of the majors or was until the Libs fell on their collective swords.

For some reason beyond my limited knowledge this post just doubled up.
It is interesting, when you consider they don't have a voice and no one can hear them, they seem to get an awful lot done for a sector of the community that is totally ignored apparently.

Heads up for the rest of Australia, it's coming to a State near you, great pick up Wayne.

It will be interesting to see if this interpretation becomes one of the issues the voice will cover, the great thing about this concept it is linked to inflation, the demands go up as the ability to afford it increases and of course when the trees die there will be another payment to replace them. Priceless. ?
Obviously there wasn't any trees alongside the river, when the Europeans arrived, that's hard to believe.
It's always good when the loonies are in charge, no wonder McGowan pulled the pin, he had sense.
This is going to end badly.
From the article:
Amid ongoing confusion over the implementation of Western Australia’s controversial new cultural heritage laws, two major tree planting events in the state were cancelled this weekend after an Aboriginal corporation demanded $2.5 million for approval, according to a report.
Seven News reported on Sunday that the planting of 5500 shrubs and trees along Perth’s Canning River by 120 volunteers was called off, after a demand from the newly formed Whadjuk Aboriginal Corporation that any planting at sites of cultural significance along the river cease.
The body cited the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act, which came into effect on July 1, establishing a vast new layer of bureaucracy via Local Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Services (LACHS), which are now responsible for determining whether an activity will cause “harm” to cultural heritage.
Under the new rules, penalties for damaging a cultural heritage site range from $25,000 to $1 million for individuals and $250,000 to $10 million for corporations, as well as jail time — although the state government late last month announced a 12-month “education-first” approach.
According to Seven News, Whadjuk Aboriginal Corporation chief executive David Collard told land care groups they could not proceed with the weekend’s events until a demand for $2.5 million from a $10 million river restoration fund was resolved.
As I said, IMO it is all about following the money, the Feds want to move the cost off their books and the States don't want to have to pick it up, so McGowan got in first which was a great move IMO.
I wasn't aware there were any lib candidates left in WA
