What the media doesn’t want to talk about in Western Australia, by Jaymez.

Not surprisingly the generally left-leaning media aren’t yet discussing this issue. They are too busy basking in Labor’s electoral win in WA to realize it may count for nothing if Marc McGowan cannot get his policies and budget passed by parliament. …

Labor will struggle to pass major legislation in WA despite their impressive majority of MP’s that gives them complete control in the Lower House. In the Upper House, the Legislative Council, the numbers look problematic for Labor. …

The party which ends up with the natural ‘balance of power’ seems likely to be the Fishers, Shooters and Farmers, who on most things are probably more likely to side with the Conservatives rather than Labor and The Greens. They hate The Greens! But they do have a good smattering of traditional Labor supporters in their ranks who like to shoot, fish and go out in their 4WD’s, which provides a counter balance to their right wing elements.
