About a year later things got terse between the Premier and Packer at a Charity Function,before Stokes got in between them.This got played down and we never heard anything after that.

None of this ever saw light of day in most of WA's press(read 7WestMedia).

There's no connection you would think between That $30 Million and a Chinese Highroller who came to town and now finds himself under Sentence of Death in China.Wonder what he got up to there,let alone here to meet such a fate?!

Grassy what's the facts to back this claim up? I imagine the quoted $30mill would have had something to do with purchasing the Burswood golf course land and business and other associated land holdings from the Packer organization for the new stadium. If it is all as dodgy as you say why hasn't Sneakers gone ballistic about it, and demanded to see details under FOI. Or in the end is it all above board? I haven't heard anything about this claim, but would be keen to hear more details.

yeah sounds like another grassy beat up to me.

How do people think Barnett is feeling about his deal with One Nation given the President of One Nation (WA) is taking legal action over the alleged sacking by Pauline Hanson due to their senior age?

Another damning indictment on the judgment of Barnett.

I trust that Paul Murray (the Sydney one) will never complain about the make-up of an ABC Q&A audience based on the audience he has cooked up for his show from Perth tonight. Asking for a show of hands for those who support the cut in penalty rates it was overwhelming compared with the barely of the handful that said it wasn't a good idea. That to me wouldn't seem to be the likely breakdown of a randomly selected audience.

Further when Paul Murray introduced the Labor candidate there was booing compared to the cheering when the Liberal Party candidate was introduced he was cheered.

Based on the make-up of the audience I would expect that there would be a 3-5 % swing to the local sitting Liberal Party member in Wanneroo.

For anyone interested here is Antony Green's pendulum:

A classic from the sitting Liberal Party member for Wanneroo when he said that he expected TAFE fees would come down when more people started utilising TAFE courses. But wait, aren't fewer people going to TAFE because of his party's huge increases in TAFE fees?
