West Aussies, Cookie wants your feedback on changing public holidays to match the eastern states.

Tell him what you think (which of course is that we want more. Apparently we get the least in the country?!)

For purely selfish reasons I'd support celebrating the Kings Birthday in June and moving WA Day, so I can occasionally have a public holiday on my birthday.

Western Australian GovernmentPublic holiday reviewThe WA Government is inviting feedback on the potential opportunities and considerations related to reforming the State’s public holiday schedule.

You can say what you like about #AlboMP.

But overseeing the destruction of the ancient rock art of #WA's NorthWest is a dog act.

#DogAct - Australian criminal cant for an action befitting the lowest of the low. (So low that they'd shop someone.)

See too what #RogerCook's WA government covered up,
"Scientist expresses concern WA government department interferred with rock art report linked to North West Shelf approval process"

Antony Green has delivered the killing blow to the hopes of any RWNJs who thought they had a chance of winning. Roger Cook has been voted-in to give Labour another term to govern Western Australia.

Western Australia continues to be a wasteland for the LNP. I wish I could say it's because the ALP are brilliant strategists or have amazing policies, but it's starting to seem the ALP has been coasting for years, and the LNP have been a hot mess for years.

A stand-out example of this is Liberal candidate, Basil Zempilas, who said to the ABC that he's the victim of a massive smear campaign. In reality, the only person smearing Basil Zempilas is Basil Zempilas — he defames himself every time he opens his mouth.

It's too early to say with any precision, but I would like to think that when the final votes are counted, the LNP have a similarly dismal presence in Parliament as last term, when Labor won 53 out of 59 of the seats.

"Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" (also titled "Long Cool Woman" or "Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)") is a song written by #AllanClarke, #RogerCook and #RogerGreenaway, and performed by the British #rock group #theHollies. In an interview with #JohnnieWalker on #BBCRadio2 on #SoundsOfThe70s in April 2023, Clarke said it had been written by himself and Cook.

From the WA Department of the Premier and Cabinet:
Where can I collect free RATs?
WA's free Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) distribution program has concluded.

Register your positive result
There is no longer a requirement for the Western Australian community to register positive RAT results with the WA Department of Health, in line with other States and Territories. The RAT Register has now closed.
