Doesn't,t say much for Abbot getting up hansens skirt now does it.

And now what we have once again is a labor government that is going to splash out $ms not to build anything.

Sour grapes, congratulate the people of WA for casting their vote wisely. It's their decision. It's their state..

Dear Shadow Minister,

Perhaps with spending there will be more money
for education, health, roads, aged care, jobs,
and a host of other voter demands instead of
the cuts and slashes experienced previously.

Mark McGowan is is too nice. If he had gone for the jugular and reminded the voters at every opportunity that the Libs had left a 40 billion dollar black hole of debt which alone will severely restrict anything successor governments could achieve for the State for many years to come, the March 11 rout would have scooped out a large slice of the small deluded vote that remained for Mr Barnett's disastrous party. That, and Mr Barnett's record of privatising public assets and exporting WA jobs to foreign countries like Malaysia.

As for the Roe 8 boondoggle, instead of picking up the tab for the contractors the new government could have taken a leaf out of Jeremy Corbyn's book and told them they're sacked and as for compensation the cheque would be in the mail - after the inherited deficit had been paid off.

Mr McGowan, although hog-tied by the Lib black hole, shapes up as a person who will govern honestly and protect the state as far as humanly possible from the consequences of his predecessors' squandering. First cab off the rank - pink slips for the Lib-appointed top layer of overpaid public service mandarins.

Foxy,

How can there be more spending if McGowan is simply handing over a huge dollop of taxpayer's cash to the construction companies, similar to Daniel Andrews paying out about $700m not to build a road.
