Watching TV last night I was reminded that you can have bike racks on buses. They have them in Canberra. I’ve never understood why the PTA/Transperth are so opposed. If we are serious about getting people out of cars and on buses it should happen.
I’ve never seen an Opposition successfully win Government by conducting their Shadow Cabinet meetings through the media. This is appallingly disloyal behaviour by Hastie. abc.net.au/news/2025-09-15/a…

What does it say about the lack of talent in the Federal Liberal Party that they have to poach a National’s Senator to be their Deputy Leader. Is there no Liberal in the House of Reps capable of this job?
Hi @Bankwest
Are you still required to comply with the Bank of Western Australia Act 1995? How are you meeting the obligations under clause 23(b)?
Because I don’t think you even come close.
Donald Trump keeps talking about Canada becoming the 51st USA State but I think @MarkJCarney should invite the western and NE US states to become Canadian Provinces. Im sure many of them would jump at it.
Hey @Bankwest I thought you said when you closed our branches we didn’t need to worry we would still be able to do our banking at Commonwealth Bank branches. This is not true!
So it’s now 6 seats each for Libs and Nats. It all comes down to Kalamunda for the Libs to become the official Opposition. By convention the Speaker, if no clear result, will maintain the status quo. That means Nats remain the Opposition. #WAvotes
Not often do I agree with Mike Nahan but his comments are spot on. The upper house liberals were a waste of space. The most effective was the retiring Peter Collier (pun intended) and he worked at half pace compared to his first term. The rest invisible

Just a hunch but I think the Nationals might stay as the official Opposition in WA. You heard it here first.
The WAEC performance today has been appalling. The buck stops with the Electoral Commissioner, they should fall on their sword once the election is concluded. #WAVotes
Bizarre. Liberals are wearing T shirts promoting their Federal candidate. How to say, we’ve given up without saying we’ve given up. #WAelection
Back when the Liberals supported ferries on the Swan River. Consistency has never been their strong point.

Comparing this flyer in my letterbox and Keep the Sheep campaign I am reminded of how incompetent the farm lobby is in WA. For a generation the social license for live export has been under threat. The farm lobby response is to get their base angry not address the issue #wapol
On a positive note, over the last week I’ve had the misfortune to need the services of @WAHealth at various locations. Have nothing but appreciation for the wonderful service. Fantastic staff everywhere!
Thanks Warren District Hospital, Augusta Hospital and SCGH

Hey @AustralianSuper if you went to an ATM to make a withdrawal and weeks later the bank hadn’t released your money and wouldn’t tell you when they will. What would you think?
Why are you helping your opponents in their campaign against industry funds?
Back in 2012 the Liberal Party was attacking me for proposing the idea of railways running to Forrestfield and Ellenbrook. Troy Buswell even made up this prop for question time.
He compared it to his plan for the MAX light rail.
Today we saw which plan became a reality
.@ABC news is quoting Pauline Hanson as saying
"When you are given the extraordinary privilege of representing Australians in parliament, you don’t trash our country. You don't trash its institutions. You don't trash its people,"
Senators should quote this back to her everyday!
