Big Nana. This is always the trap for (I can't see how) folk unable to see the big picture. We are just 22 million people, blessed with more resources than countries 3-7 times our size!

And given the right management plan, able to make this one of the richest countries in the world to belong to.

W.A. is one of the largest states, but suffers by being the most arid. Cheap as chips clean walk away safe molten salt thorium energy, coupled to breakthrough deionization desalination turns every negative into a massive positive, and food and fibre production, previously only the stuff of unreachable dreams!

Production that could massively change W.A's fortunes inside a single decade, to become the food bowl of Asia.

And as such go from strength to strength in a boom without end!

It does require vision and rare Leadership. And an ability to say no the the usual plethora of money grubbing carpetbagging foreigners!

Nothing wrong with foreigners per se, just those who arrive as debt laden speculators, who buy what they want, with an IOU, often hardly worth the paper it's written on! Then expect gullible trusting Australians to pay the tab!

We have somewhere north of a two trillion super fund, our own, just needing some failsafe energy based, income earning projects to attract them/it back here.

And given we'd lose absolutely nothing we have now, but gain mind numbing heaps, offset low returns by giving the investment government guaranteed, self terminating 30 year bonds, a tax free status.

If this nation where led by a visionary like Lee Kwun Yew, something very like what I'm talking about would already be our reality.

And just not doable here, because our lot hardly share a brain and are usually bereft of new ideas! Just more of the same divide and rule ideology.

This is a country where timidity and endless blame shifting reigns supreme and vision is largely confined to the political rear vision mirror!

And fighting over the spoils of defeat!

The W.A. election is over with a landslide victory to labor.

The Nats not to badly hurt as the Liberal alliance partner. With MR Grylls own sea in doubt, thanks to the campaigning by foreign multinationals, with very deep pockets?

And very much against fair and equitable sharing the profits they make, with the owners of the resources that have for decades, provided billions upon billions in income, inclusive of, I believe, avoided taxes and repatriated profits!

The standout result, is that of one nation, who clawed around 5% from the jaws of around 13%, as their projected primary vote.

With super intelligent policies like their position as an anti establishment party, getting into bed with the devil.

Or their principled stand against polio and infant killing whooping cough vaccination.

Or even more intelligent friendly overtures to that, well known friend of the west, President Putin.

And topping that off with agreeing on air for thousands to hear, to being amenable to giving some of Queensland's GST to W.A. And indicative of quite remarkable intelligence at the helm of one nation.

It's is not everyday that a party can all but halve their primary vote, then halve it again just weeks out from an election! But oh so clever and more mature Pauline has managed it!

And presumably done no favors to the vanquished Libs in the clever electoral anti establishment (two bob each way) Writhing.

Sort of reminds one of those cedar grubs marching inline, until a carefully wielded twig, gradually turns the leader hard on the heels of the last member of a congo line of hairy caterpillars. Then watch as they tirelessly march in purposeful circles, until nature, thirst and sunlight spells their united doom.

Well done Pauline! No wonder you're the darling of the thinking undecided swinging voter!

More proof as if any more was needed that governments get voted out by an exasperated public.

Governments get voted in by default.

The incoming mob pretend the 'best' were voted in and will strut and brag. They arrogantly disregard the very clear message from the electorate that they are only second best if that in voters' assessment and they will in time prove what the other, now disgraced lot did, that getting into power and then treating voters as dumb-ass 'punters' who don't need to be consulted or satisfied between elections is a sure way to get the boot.

As the US has shown us - be careful what you
wish and who you vote for. What you thought would
be an answer to your dreams could turn out to be a
nightmare - and much worse than what you had previously.

I'm looking forward to the results of the commission of enquiry into the WA budget crisis.
How could a state in a mining boom end the boom with a fiscal deficit like some banana republic?

There will be many rocks to look under.
