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...

It does mean, however, that Kirkup has an out if he gets ousted in the next election from his own seat - if the WA Liberal Party are intent on retaining him as Opposition leader, Bateman (Nalder's electorate) is safe as houses.

Edit - is it even possible at this late stage for Kirkup to run in Nalder's place in Bateman?

This guy is shameless. This is 100% on him. Idiot. McGowan takes aim at airlines after interstate fares skyrocket

McGowan takes aim at airlines after interstate fares skyrocket

Within hours of the announcement, airfares for one-way Qantas flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Perth jumped to more than $1000.

why is this on him

 

[Spitty_the_alpaca]

Air lines don't trust him to keep them open after all his chest beating and politicking.

 

[gaskin]

why is this on him

Because he has a hard-on for hating on McGowan for some reason.

 

[Harry Yorkie]

why is this on him

This guy is a RWNJ. He stunk up the Covid thread and he will stink up this one if you let him. Please ignore him.

 

[CakeEater]

Um Spitty:

1. Kirkups Girlfiend is a journo who works for the West (Jemma clarke)
2. His new CofS is a ex West Aus journo. By ex West Aus journo he resigned to take up the position with Kirkup.

Its fair to say the West Aus is obliged to give Kirkup a soft run..........

 

[Taylor]

As long as the paper runs a story about how election promises can be started months before the following election and get traction twice, I'm sure it will all be fair.

Having a different opinion to the mob isn't stinking up a thread....

If people don't like the price of airline tickets then they shouldn't buy them and then the price will go down.

Basic economics.

Airlines wouldn't sell them at this price if people weren't prepared to pay for it.

 

[Off The Couch]

Airlines do this all the time
Eagles playing good football - airline tickets through the roof
School holidays - same
Xmas/Easter same

it’s a very very long bow trying to tie that to McGowan

Pretty sure it was confirmed the health experts advice had been shared with the opposition the whole time.

Not sure what Kirkup has to do with anything but Marko deciding to follow health advice is new. We could have had an open border with most states for months already based on health advice.

Depends which advice.

Dr Andrew Miller from the AMA has consistently criticised anything the WA Government has done - warned against early removal of borders, warned against Optus Stadium having crowds, warned against keeping up the borders, warned against accepting more international arrivals, the list goes on. I cannot think of a single COVID-related decision that he has supported from McGowan.

The Federal CMO has tended to spruik opening up borders rapidly, as directed by the PM, and questioned the constitutionality of the restrictions.

The State CMO has been more cautious - this has been reflected in McGowan's policies - and fought consistently against Clive Palmer and ScoMo when they pushed for reopening.

Personally, I am glad he chose the latter and not the former two.

This may just happen given nsw case

WA opening their borders to another state is the kiss of death.

Maybe the leprechaun will be the deal breaker. Open the ******* borders Marky or air fairs will stay high and it's all your fault Marky for being a campaigner.

Absolutely agree with you there but if Marky Mark is going to shut the borders every time someone sneezes, airlines will lose conference and send their planes on more profitable routes leaving us as second class citizens.

Breaking news: from midnight tonight WA will ban the use of motor vehicles to reduce the risk of car accidents. "We have to be cautious, we can't take risks" said premier Mark McGowan.

Is the venue going to check?

why bother then
Why not man up and just buck the system and make a stand that you aren’t going to be dictated to by anyone

 

[Billy ray]

no, but you could have been exposed to someone who had it and was in the venue and you'd never know, could be asymptomatic but still spread it unknowingly, and perhaps permanently injure or even worse someone else

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

It's amazing how often people aren't interested in helping during a crisis. Not just the above QR code hack but a bunch of things.

Rather than doing their bit, a lot of people would rather go "haha what you've created isn't perfect".

This happened a lot with the g2g pass application process.

In much more exciting news there will be a(nother) study into high speed rail between Perth and Bunbury, jointly funded by the state and the commonwealth governments.

I welcome the study but I'm guessing that this will be a very modest version of "high speed" which Europeans and Asians will laugh at.

The other part of me says if you are going to do this don't stop and Bunbury, build the *er all the way down the coast to Augusta.
