I'm starting to wonder if Swan42 will come back 58shark. He hasnt logged in to the site for nearly 6 weeks and he was pretty disillusioned about the WAFL last year. Pity, no matter what you think of his views you couldn't deny he was passionate about them.

T-O-O was your late Grandfather a new Australian. I know when the ships use to come in with new immigrants. Holden use to sign up to work for them as they got off the boats.It was the lucky country.

Mate those factories operated under massive tariff protections, not only that but the government thru money at them as well, so they were subsidised and protected by both the public and gov. which was why it cost an arm and a leg for a car back in the 60s, that was also mass production from countries like Korea, the international car industry has changed massively since then , There is no way those factories would be viable today, people just don't buy those vehicles anymore , Australia has one of the most diverse car markets in the world , take a look around next time you are out and see how many holdens and fords are now out there compared to 1980.

As for Mc Gown , what good job??, when he took over debt was 31 Billion , and now its 37 Billion and that's after smashing households with increased charges, as well as that unemployment is through the roof. he's been gifted a better GST deal and Iron Ore Royalties., previous gov would have cleaned the slate with those.

No he wasn’t gtr, but he was an Old Easts supporter so that used to count against him.

That Forrestfield airport link rail tunnel is proving to be a disaster and is holding up the rest of the McGowan governments Metronet plans. It was one of many thought bubbles by the previous govt on public transport. The whole Perth Airport saga is a joke and the government needs to get involved. I piss myself laughing everytime I see Perth Airport rated the best in Australia. You've got to be fucking kidding me. I've never seen an airport with such a pathetic pick up and drop off system. Totally inadequate and a joke.

And they demand Qantas and Jetstar move to T1 by 2025. Lol. The older t3/t4 airport system is superior. Our airport is an embarrassment.
F*#k me Bill Shortarse is just down the road at Midland Tafe. Might have to get the dirt bike out and terrorise him. See what answers he's got for crime in Midland. Lol
