TOPIC:

Is this clown for real? Why are they even contemplating it for a cohort that represents less than 3% of the population? I would think there's more people of Italian descent than Aboriginal living in the Freo area so maybe they should think about translating it into Italian whilst they're at it. I can see me now telling the missus I'm popping down to watch Subi play South Walyalup at Walyalup Oval... FMD...when is this PC crap going to stop.

This bloke gets support from the loony left tree hugging whale rooters who are very vocal and very active so they get heard, it's up to the rest of the Freo rate payers , if they dont want this, to organise and get their pov across otherwise they will no one to blame but them selves. On saying that, freo belongs not just to the freo residents, it is an iconic space and any change like this should also be dealt with by the wider public and the state government.

The public and govt have to stand up and be heard against this sort of rubbish. Tiny minorities have far too much influence in this country.
If you let these people get a foot hold there will be no stopping them. Their wacky ideas will become the norm. Going back 20 or 30 years if someone said there will be gay marriage and muslims will have their own schools and prepared food, everyone would have laughed.

Is this the same dickhead who approved yellow painted foil over heritage listed buildings down a whole street that costs to remove has blown out from $15,000 to between $150 - 250,000?

Agree Cesspit...they must sit around in council meetings and give a prize to the councillor who comes up with the biggest and weirdest left wing idea that will give the mainstream community the shits.

I go through Freo every day on my way home from work and it's filthy, full of drunks and deros with half the shops and businesses away from the cappo strip either boarded up or with For Lease signs at the front. Surely Pettitt and his cronies should be more worried about fixing the city's problems rather than focusing on this rubbish.

He wouldn't have the balls BC to "clean up the streets" for fear of offending those who destroy the experience and safety of others. Same as Northbridge and around the Perth train station I have noticed at night after i have come back into the city from Optus Stadium the last couple of weeks.

ANZAC Day at Freo Oval was a farce this year, the entire ceremony was in Aboriginal Language and ceremony, I just don't get the point of it on ANZAC Day , there is no special place in ANZAC for Aboriginal Soldiers , they were just one of many that served, I wish they would just get back to basics with a language we all understand , it totally ruined the day.

I don't mind the welcome to country ceremony Baz and think that's fair enough as they were here first but what you're talking about sounds like utter rubbish.

All of which makes one wonder what the hell we'll be calling Perth in a few years from now?
Apparently the council of Perth has adopted a Reconciliation Action Plan. Not sure where they have adopted it from?
The plan includes looking into interpretative signs and dual naming of different locations.
The dual naming of Perth itself would be one of the topics under consideration in the future.
