Ouch, it must hurt those Liberal strategists who are genuinely working for a Dutton government to read this.

Filletted, marinaded, then seared.

I'm thinking how much worse things must be for the WA Libs - a much smaller pool to chose candidates from, a leader with much less obvious intellect than Dutton, gun-rights being blabbered about on election night, lurches to the right not being swept under carpet, and experienced politicians aging fast. #WesternAustralia #WAPol

#Perth, #WesternAustralia

The wind has been in from the #Alcoa alumina refinery at #Kwinanna for a day.

A plume of #NaOH smell puts an astringent edge to the air , more so if you care to admit that you're breathing the stuff in.

Surprisingly #KerryStokes doesn't make much of this in the media he owns.

So #TacoBell are shutting down in Australia. For the 3rd time. I've not tried it yet. Don't think I will now.
Wonder if we'll be able to do the same to the few #Starbucks that have managed to sneak in to #WesternAustralia recently.

Let me say one thing: If Spud gets in, it won't be on our watch. WA has not forgotten.

Labor launches campaign in WA, but will it win over wary voters?

Labor launches election campaign in Perth once again, but what will it take to win over the west?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese chose Perth to launch his election campaign for the second consecutive time, after the west helped Labor form a majority government in 2022. But WA voters will need more convincing this time around.

Let's all hope—and work—for a brighter future.
