I don’t imagine theres much room in the WA electorate to vote further to the ‘left’ than Labor. But still, a couple more Greens, or even Teals, could really help push the WA government faster down the path they’re already slow walking down.
Also gas companies pay shit-all royalties for what they’re getting, so why do them any favours!? I don’t understand why they have such a large presence in policy decisions in this state.
One of the issues is there are so few eyes on these lower government people. Like @LongMacToppedUp said, we’re basically a ‘one paper’ state.
Even then, so many people are willing to undercut business dealing rules for their own gain, with a wink and a nod. It seems to be in our culture, not just a few poor actors in high positions.
