These @ssholes are not conservative at all and don't think for a millisecond that a labor government would change a damn thing.

That is where, what @SirRumpole said, is IMO very accurate. It is what the parties present in the lead up to the election, that will win the day.
Take for example W.A and McGowan, you couldn't fit a cigarette paper between what McGowan is doing and what Barnett did before him, they both have put the future of the State first and foremost.
Really McGowan is only taking up where Barnett left off and really the voting public can't ask for better than that, McGowan is stepping on toes in his own party, but it's for the betterment of the State and most voters are appreciating that.
This also applies Federally, as I've said on numerous occasions, the only ones ones who can lose the next election for Labor, is the media and I'm not talking Murdoch.

By other states I mean left leaners, bootlickers and "twitterati" are.
I've stated before everyone here is slightly leaning off centre.

If you asked me flat out. I'd say government is getting its authoritarian on. Doesn't matter which side.

every one who isn't a extreme leftist of moderately left is considered centre right or far right. by media or the left

governments are getting more authoritarian more left day by day. the scary part is the amount of people continue to sleep through it and more scary is the people who think leftism works. history shows it never works and only Leeds to death, destruction, corruption and slaughter of millions of people

And we are already forcing indigenous people into concentration camps and hardly anyone has said a word about it.
 
I wonder what the stats are on political parties that win both houses of parliament and if the same party wins the next election. The other house is meant to provide some checks & balances against party hubris.

It didn't work out for John Howard in 2007 and McGowan could well run into the same problem. Electorate seems to be turning against him lately.

Is it the electorate, or how the media are presenting him? Not being funny I haven't seen t.v for a while, but I haven't read anything that McGowan has said or done that would upset the electorate.
On the other hand his refusal to bend to pressure to open up earlier, would be upsetting a lot of the business and the tourism sector, these groups do spend a lot of money on advertising, so it would be in their best interest if the media could apply pressure on him to open the borders asap.

I'm getting it from office chatter more than anything - granted it's likely not a representative sample of the populace but there's a few that would be swayed by a convincing social media libertarian post.
The vaccine mandate thing is causing a lot of angst (as can be witnessed by the response when his personal mobile number and home address were leaked, leading to threats to his family)

I'm sensing a little bit of loss of support for McStalin too. But in my opinion the wild card In The deck is the opposition leader... She *seems* pretty switched on.

Either way I don't really care too much...same same, both mobs are full of petty tyrants. My hope is that the libertarian minors get control of the upper house.
 
Twiggy Forrest buys New Norcia farm off the Benedictine Monks for reported $40m, first time it has changed hands in 175 years, at least it is staying in Australian hands a real bit of Australian history.
Last time I was up there, it sounded as though they were running out of Monks.

Would not be surprised if covid was 'planted' here.... Get it started in WA - but make it a 'millennial' clubbers fault...not the labor governments fault. Brilliant

Urgent Covid alert for nightclub in Western Australia

WA Health has started contact tracing after a person infected with Covid-19 attended a Perth nightclub last weekend. The nightclub in question is The Geisha Bar in Northbridge (pictured).
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

"The partygoer who visited Perth nightclubs while infected with Covid has been revealed as a 25-year-old backpacker who entered the country from France. West Australian Premier Mark McGowan confirmed the case entered the state from Queensland after arriving from Europe. The man, who is unvaccinated, was able to enter given the quarantine-free travel between the states. "

What a scumbag. Ship this clown back overseas.

And grieving parents can't come here to pick up the body of their kid.

Fark you McStalin
 
Righteo, I'm calling out this backpacker bulshit. I know if quite a few cases both personally and in the media where people are just not allowed into this state... Often with amazingly compelling reasons to do so.

And then some French backpacker comes in, wanders around, drinking, socialising, and presumably fu(king all the local chicks (sexy french accent and all that)... And the local Stasi just allows this?

Meanwhile ordinary decent people are having the g2g passes revoked and being stopped at the border

Puleeeze.

Come on folks do you truly believe this shite?

Wife asked the same but neighbours husband got in not double vaxed go figure.

That is confusing.

Without taking any idiological position on either side of the argument, there just seems to be some inconsistency with regards to who is allowed in the state.

That's bad.
