TOPIC:

I was just reading about our new $400m museum which is due to open in November. Apparently it's something to behold and just another reason why we should all thank the Barnett government for what they achieved. Sure we finished up in debt but that will be a distant memory in a few years time whereas all his achievements will be around for everyone to enjoy for a lot longer than that.

Yes Mate, my office is right near there, and it is quite an impressive sight so far,

Tbh I look at the Stadium, Eliz Quay, and someone wa just saying how great the Kids Hospital is after taking her kids up there, all the negative BS is forgotten already.

Bob Hawk College has opened on the Subi site as well, that's another thing that would not have been possible had the stupid Langolant plan be started.

Never fear, BC - there is always a good progressive government just around the corner, and ready to make the hard decisions required to clean up the financial mess left by profligate, rorting, vote buying conservative shambles.

New ladies change rooms for your all male rugby club, anyone?

Jack we are talking state here not the bungholes over in Canberra. The Barnett govt left a big debt but also left a massive infrastructure legacy, the current McGowan govt is also tackling some big infrastructure projects like the Ellenbrook/airport/Welshpool rail projects that will ensure their legacy but they have been a bit fortunate to be around when the feds finally addressed the GST rorting and a new big upturn in minerals royalties.

Oh...so you're talking about Howard cleaning up Keating's mess in 1996 when he paid down the $90 billion in debt the socialists left the incoming government and what's more set up a future fund of $60 billion to boot. Thanks for reminding me jack.

You seem to be confusing your "conservatives" with your "progressives", and "socialists" for that matter, BC.

But you did get it right on one level - people in the know still are still amazed at, and enjoying, the achievements made during the Hawke & Keating years, and certainly haven't forgotten.

Can someone explain to me in English please, what is good about Elizabeth Quay? I drive around it often, sometimes through it and I never feel the urge to stop and take a look around. In other words, nothing to see here.

The only time it draws people in is when there’s a pop up event there on vacant lots. But when those lots are not vacant anymore and occupied by glass towers full of offices and apartments then what? The place is sterile.

No mate...just highlighting the hypocrisy of you socialists when having a crack at Barnett when Keating was even worse.

Still a work on progress DD, the Carlton Ritz is looking great and a real asset, Chevrons new build is starting as well which will add hundreds of workers to the precinct, there's still the blocks at the far end to fill but that wont be far off..

The Mrs and I got the ferry from South Perth across and then had a few beers at the Island Bar and Brewery which is really pleasant looking at the lights of the City.
