WA Labor is raking in political donations far above the rate of the Liberals. This is who’s giving what

The first three months of Western Australia's near real-time peek behind the political donations curtain paints a fascinating picture of the spheres of power and influence in the resource-rich state.

TBH they are pretty close considering still there is a spilt between Nats and Liberals some seats where they both field candidates. It will be interesting if Basil gets up and how aggressive he will be about claiming the leadership.

That is a real interesting one, it will be interesting to see, if it furthers the argument for train drivers or driverless trains.
It really is a bone of contention in the NW, Rio and BHP want to go driver less trains, the results of the investigation will be interesting.
I thought trains had a 'dead man' switch on them, that they had to operate at regular intervals, or the train stopped automatically.
But I'm no train driver, unless it's steam driven.lol

You are correct about the ‘ dead man’ switch in the trains having them still, but the trains. The drivers operate them in perth or Brisbane at the mining companies operations room and are not fully atomised user yet to my knowledge
