How is that a long term problem? Cancelling Roe 8 was a huge vote winner and shifting the port has been estimated as actually decreasing container processing costs.

they will need to fight the union tooth and nail, it will wreck the environment in the area so they will need to fight the Greens and it isn't a solution until 2025 at minimum. Like they won't even break ground until then.
If you have been on leach hwy lately it is absolute insanity with the amount of trucks, thats why Bateman won't go Labor. Anti-Roe 8 is only popular in Bicton and Fremantle because people have houses which would be impacted.

Unions aren't that powerful anymore.
Actually, the Greens are supporting the Outer Harbour. Since it's already an industrial area, the seagrass beds there are already dead and unable to be regrown. The areas the Greens want protected are Garden Island and Mangles Bay which are pretty easy for shipping to avoid even with the Outer Harbour going ahead.

Greens MLC Lynn MacLaren says contrary to misinformation frequently spread by the Barnett Government, environmental effects of a new Outer Harbour on the Kwinana Industrial Strip are likely to be manageable.
True. But you previously said this was a long term problem, seems odd to change your argument now. McGowan has dealt with the short term problem anyway by doubling the percentage of freight taken by rail.
Labor don't need Bateman, it'd require a 10% swing to win anyway. Hanging onto their gain in Bicton should be the priority.

expect to see the complete collapse of snapper stock in the perth region from this port.
this is the exact same area that every year (driven by fishermen btw) we have a no take ban on snapper in the area - they aggregate, spawn and proliferate up the coast from this breeding ground.

Im of the opinion that seeing as the mineral sands production for lithium is coning from and around geraldton it might be an idea to expand a port in geraldton - oh look what do we have here ......on again off again on again off again oakagee port......

Interesting. And how has the snapper population changed with the industrial development and shipping that already goes to Kwinana for bulk freight, grain, alumina, coal, iron ore and the oil refinery?

Anyone else got pamphlets from Clive Palmer in the mail today?
Entirely focused on WA's reactions to COVID and how it wasn't required (surprise).

Reminds me of a blowfly butting Its head against the window over and over and over
Its huge - getting a feed of good size snapper in the sound is doable and at certain times easy.

That's good to hear. I think comprehensive studies of the potential impact should be carried out before a decision is made. It has to be based on facts over fear.
pretty interesting piece of analysis here on the election based on the minimal polling available.

Dawsville is at 76% labor, same with Hilaries. Riverton is line ball, Scarborough is 75% Liberal.
interesting work. I'm not sure about Riverton being so close. Scarbs is definitely 50/50.

Not yet.
I did get an official looking envelope marked "important voting information" that had an application for postal voting and return envelope inside. It all looked very official. Tucked away inside that there was a flyer from the local Liberal Party candidate. I think this was a bit misleading trying to fool people into thinking that the mail came from the electoral commission. So I threw the whole lot in the bin. I can only hope the return address on the reply paid envelope is genuine.
Now you see that is wasting a good opportunity
Get two housebricks and tape them together. Wrap them in newspaper.
tape them to the letter you got sent and cross your address out - put return to sender unsolicited mail.
taddaaa you just wasted $20 bucks
I'm a suspicious and cynical old bastard, but I'm not mean like that.

Not sure how useful this is without more localised seat polling. Things like the relative weakness of the Liberal candidate in Riverton is likely to go uncaptured by this model.
FWIW it has Darling Range as 98% Labor re-gain.
I think its a pretty good guide all things considered.
I'm hearing through the grapevine that Bill Marmion has a serious independent problem on his hands in Nedlands due to the planning issues in the seat. Isn't factored in here obviously.
Interesting on Darling Range. But really, there would need to be a swing back to Labor regardless now they aren't running a candidate who is a proven fraud lol
They do if its got postage oaid australia on the letter
Ive been using this trick for years to get rid of companies who send letters interminably despite yoy returning them to sender no longer at this address.
my postie told me to do it - sometimes after the first brick they would send another - never after you sent them two.
Im not talking about reply paid mail - im talking returning to sender the mail they have sent you.
