Perth / Western Australia

Its cases like these that give me faith people get justice in WA still. Well done to the other Officer for trying to step in also.

Apparantly there is no way to influence demand for housing.

Belle delivering news of our proud Perth trailblazers once again. Well done to Alan! Leave all that tofu-insulation to those tree hugging hippies! /j

I run up Jacob's daily. Today, I had to take the Kokoda trail. 😥

This star gazing podcast is the ticket if you're looking to get in the spirit for Astrofest 2023, only 16 days to go!

Note: My thanks to Treevan for directing me to Particle. Its a great site!

A follow up to Adam Morton's great article on Woodside. This is the link he provides at the end.

The relevent detail, Seven Group Holdings subsidiary SGH energy have a 15% stake in the Joint Venture apparently.

This should raise some eye browse.

Good article by Adam Morton.

The Woodside CEO is talking her book, and Seven West is only too happy to promote her words unquestioningly.

What a shambles. I mean this as a joke, but WA Labor should just split off like twenty seats from the rest of the Legislative Assembly and call them 'Opposition Labor'. Thereby becoming the second largest grouping in the House and the official opposition! The amount of air time those six seats take in terms of media coverage is ridiculous.

I suppose my gripe is, there isn't proportional representation by the media of the actual make up of the house. For these last few years of Labor domination every story i read goes 'government says this, but opposition says this'.

And its probably because all the Labor members toe the party line. Which for a journalist isn't useful. So, as a media strategy. It would be smart for Labor to relax the party line (don't know if state is as strict as federal Labor is on that), for a grouping of members, so they can run out there get media attention doorstopping, and all those fun things. Grab the media attention to more Labor members, building profiles.

I get party cohesion can be a strength, but conversely, giving a virtually non-existant opposition breathing room could be a weakness.

Well, that was fun, and more than a little brutal. Sorry any Filipino friends.

The timing of the windmills ones always brings me unstuck.

Another hard hitting article from belle. It's a risk calling out King Neptune and his followers like this. I'm not convinced the fishing fleets of Freo can protect metro Perth from the wrath of the Two Rocks Armada. /s

Is this a case where everyone has good point? $859 is a long jump from free. Whatever the reasoning, this absolutely will shut down reasonsble claims at the same rate as vexatious. All a charge like this does is shut out the less financially elastic in their claims.

This is actually really exciting. I hope the plans develop further. Looking way down the line, long term industries like this could become the basis for finally breaking our population out of the sourh west corner.

The people of the City of Bayswater should protest vote at the coming Mayoral and Byelection.

Trying to keep the garden healthy and giving them a brief hand water every day in the recent heat. Noticed they're going a bit yellow after a few weeks having been so nice and green coming off winter.

I also fertilise twice a year. Not sure if this is enough? Should I switch to monthly maybe?

Not for lack of water anyway. So, I'm wondering about water composition and how it affects the garden. It's just regular tap water. Not bore. Any knowledge to share? What fertiliser and water regime keeps your garden really nice?

I'm not a fan of articles like this. There's so little detail on why the proposal was knocked back. It's impossible to know, by the end of the article, whether it was a good or poor action by the committee.

Anybody got the inside scoop?

Sounds like a fun day on the bike for anyone looking for something to do this weekend.

Another case of Hollywood big shots coming over here thinkin theybown the place. Glad the Times is onto them!
