    The rest of the country is too scared to touch WA, youse will just run a scare campaign on the gst and then we’ll capitulate. Or big gas and iron ore will scream about jobs despite those jobs not being in the rest of the country. Sorry Queensland

    Damn right it is. I’m not sure i blame anybody, seems its just a general lack of fucks given, with inspiring and notable exceptions.

    A Liberal tack to the climate could be a real vote winner here, but they’ll of course lose mining money so thats no chance.
