The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

Premier is likely to move WA to phase 5 restrictions in the next few minutes.

Only change will be no more 2 square meter rule and no capacity limits in major venues.

not happening because of the NZ and these cargo boats - is that right?

No, I don't know if that's right or not. I did not watch the presser.

the hard border is to protect us, the rest of australia, from dirty sandgropers. clean ya sh*t up

Says the dirty Sandgroper.

 

[Billy ray]

ill take my 4 cases atm.

how much longer do you think the public will be on his side over there out of interest?

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Hmmm, wouldn't people who say that McGowan is keeping the border closed to help him with the election have to then acknowledge the policy is popular?

Otherwise, how is it helping him with the election?

If it is popular though, wouldn't you want him doing it? Like, isn't he meant to do what his constituents want?

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Ah yeah. I don't think anyone really gives a sh*t about moving from phase 4 to phase 5.

It's the removal of the hard border which has people interested. No update on that yet, I imagine.

While it's still at stage 4 and not 5, it is a bit of a distraction for the locals. Once you're at 5 all that's left is 6 and that's full open borders.

The delay from 4 to 5 is a nice buffer for him. Once 5 comes in the only thing left for everyone to switch their focus to is 6 and then he'll really cop the heat from internal sources and not just mainly external.

I read that no money was allocated towards public housing in the state budget. If true than whether it's evil Basil or hero Mark there is little empathy for the homeless.

 

[Billy ray]

Wrong.
Plenty of money for homelessness and housing stuff.

Ok.

I have a Greens fanatic on FB sharing this claim from one of his favourite MPs so someone may have been misled.

Although the money spent may need to increase with tougher economic times to come.

A lot of people - often not from WA - are telling us that we're the ones in the wrong, though.

A few more pages from the infrastructure program for public housing. Hundreds of millions

I might have to be very careful of Greens politicians. They seem to be a little lazy over here at state level.

They dont know how to read a financial statement. Financially illiterate

I felt stupider trusting it, and that's something I really don't enjoy.

McGowan sad that we were surrounded by Covid.

If you look at it we are surrounded by water and two states with 0 cases.

One would think he is bringing in ships plagued with Covid on purpose.

 

[Off The Couch]

Yes even as a raging leftie I have to agree that the spin today was way over the top

You will never lose votes by preaching parochialism to sandgropers

Unless it's found to be unconstitutional or unlawful, isn't McGowan's border closure reflecting the legitimate will of the people?

The one time our politicians actually listen to the people and they get slated. Go figure.

Stop the boats!

Rank populism should never be applauded

 

[Forward Press]

Rank populism should never be applauded

Who are we to decide?

Like I said - if it's held to be unconstitutional or unlawful by a court of law then sure it should be dismantled, but until that point he is reflecting the will of the people. We complain when State politicians bend over for big business and the Federal government, but now we complain when this one is refusing to bend over and instead listens to the people?

I might find Donald Trump distasteful but he was legitimately chosen by the mechanism that decides US presidential elections and he is acting according to the mandate of the people that put him there - until it becomes unconstitutional or unlawful. That's democracy for you.

 

[Caesar]

I never said it wasn't the will of the people. I just said it was stupid and parochial.
