[BITList] West Australian Election

[John Feltham]

G'day Folks,

It took only 90 minutes for the result to be known.

Not bad for a paper and pencil voting procedure eh?

Quote:

More than that, there was the impact of the controversial preference deal struck between One Nation and the Liberals, which appears to have been a case of both parties shooting each other in the foot.

Also licking his wounds is Nationals leader Brendon Grylls, who is facing a difficult battle to hold his Pilbara seat after a multi-million dollar campaign against him by mining companies objecting to his plan to inflate the levy charged to big miners Rio Tinto and BHP by 1900 per cent.

Looks like big money (multi-million dollars?  How much exactly?), was put into one seat to preserve the profits of the two very rich mining companies operating there. And Malcolm Trumble's National and LNP Government has the gall to complain about AustralianUnions? 

Will he now institute a Royal Commission into the mining companies influencing State Elections?

Can pigs fly?
