Don't vote for that idiot Barnett please don't, he has no idea about any of the infrastructure Perth needs, I work in the water industry on a number of large scale projects that he will ditch if he gets in, only to realise his ultra expensive vision of building a pipeline from the Kimberly to Perth.

Talk about a bad selection.

Liberal for me - although only just (as I just explained to the Newspoll people who just called on behalf of The Australian.)

Well we cant afford Labor thats for sure.

Just wait for the corruption report to come out, 5 ministers sacked/quit it aint a good look at all.

It's interesting how the vast majority of Australians vote for Labor (and yes, it's American spelling for some reason), and yet all the new British Australians vote for the Liberal party.

If you count the number of votes, rather than number of winning electorates, Labor would win just about everything in the country. It's just that some of the country electorates go to the Liberals, and because there is hardly anyone there, they are massively over-represented in the statistics.

I am not in Perth, but there is no way in the world I would EVER vote Liberal, anywhere. Local or Federal.
Not after their lack of funding for public education led to the closing of toilets in public schools because they were 'health hazards', and the end of language, technology and arts programs because all the money went to new swimming pools and grand pianos for the private schools.
Not after they refused to ratify Kyoto.
Not after they accused us of being 'un-AMERICAN' for not supporting George Bush.
Not with all their elitist bull**** that attracts farmers but put academics off-side.:curse::curse::curse::curse::curse::curse:

I've just got back from Monkey Mia and one advert from a national just cracked me up! He was moaning about day light saving and that it was costing his solar panel farm $$$.

I would love to meet him to explain that day light saving does not actually mean we get less of the suns rays.

With people like this to vote for is it any wonder that people couldn't give a rats arse who to vote for.

Water is a pretty big issue right now in WA, if they dont get the planning right now it will have dire consequences. I'd rather trust someone who listens to engineers than some bafoon who thinks he knows more than the Watercorp.

incase you have,nt noticed water is a big issue Australia wide, you work for a company that SELLS water, it is in their share holders interest to sell that water at the best possible price, but with out spending too much on infrastructer.
If people did not listen to "buffoons" half the things we have today would not have got done.................mm

C.Y. Oconnor..

never work, crazy man, waste of money.

That pipe goes uphill 600kms. Anything can be done, just depends on money.

Is desal plants better option, with it polluting the ocean the air, the massive cost to run them?
