Ripper has cost the state billions, because we are sitting on big surpluses our Commonwealth GST share distributed by the federal government has been reduced.

JOONDALUP, Midland and Armadale will enjoy Sunday trading if Labor wins the state election - and mid-week shopping hours will be extended til 7pm.
As reported in the weekend’s The Sunday Times, Premier Alan Carpenter has back-flipped on full deregulation, instead opting to allow shops to open on Sundays in selected tourism precincts.

Umm... Midland and Armadale? Yeah awesome spots...

the roads are miles behind where they need to be, the freeway is only JUST about to join up to Currambine and it needed to go all the way to Clarkson 5 yrs ago. Of course they are only making two lanes, stupid pricks, its got to be way cheaper to do 4 lanes to start with than having to go back in 5 yrs time and widen it, and then screw with traffic for 6 months while they do that.

I just got my local Liberal's propaganda, looks like HOONS are the hot topic *sigh* :P

Ripper and crew know how to spend the money no worries at all, the problem is they don't know how to INVEST it properly.

Joondalup Arena train station got scrapped coz it wasnt going to be finished in time for the state election.

Ive been here for 4 years now and wa has pretty much been booming all that time, yet i fail to see anything that has improved apart from a rail system which is more concerned with you having your ticket than any sort of safety for passengers. If that dumb prick Troy Buswell didn't do that stupid stuff that he did, resigned after it happened,not being a selfish prick thinking about himself only and not his party, i think that Alan Carpenter might have lost...

Are the Liberals going to complete the final stage of Roe hwy (kwinana fwy to stirling Hwy Freo). I wonder how the rail plan devised by Labor is coming along? The long route that long semis have to take is stupid (19m+ trucks are banned along certain stretches of Leach Hwy & South Street)
