In the
dirty world of politics this is a lady who knows how to get her Prada’s dirty
in national mud puddles that are none of her business. Forget who she is and
what she is, it is time to ask her what she is now doing for her country
electorate, not what her country electorate has already done for her.
These days York’s representative in the Western Australian Parliament is close to impotent, ignored by the Liberal Party and in many ways responsible for the many years out of office the WA Nationals can be looking forward to.
Also very much responsible for the multi-billion dollar financial disaster that was Royalties for Regions. R4R does not represent the well-deserved recognition of the massive positive input that the regions have on this State’s economy, but the imbecilic way billions has been spent (and lost) in its name.
Everyone should remember that Perth, as a commercial entity, is a major loss making concern providing very little export revenue while gobbling-up at least 70% of the state’s imports. That was the reason for R4R, to try and develop a form of social and economic, equitable parity.
When the Allawuna Farm Tip project first reared its ugly head Ms. Davies was joined by a political-career-enhancing umbilical cord to the then Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Lands and WA Nationals Leader Brendon Grylls.
Grylls was a political powerhouse and the ‘King Maker’ of Colin Barnett, the WA Government was totally dependent on his support.
He was also the member representing Central Wheatbelt and the Shire of York community.
Even the most sycophantic WA Nationals supporter should not believe that at that time, 2012, Grylls had not been approached by the proponents of the Allawuna Farm debacle for his approval and support.
Mia Davies, his closest confident and successor said he knew nothing about it.
That is not just three strikes for deliberately ignoring the truth - it is four.
Grylls was the Minister for Regional Development, Lands and the member for the region and therefore should have been told there would be a large regional industrial and domestic waste development on regional land.
That’s three! - And you are normally out.
The fourth is that when a similar, earlier project was proposed at Northam, Grylls predecessor, Max Trenorden, who then was nothing more than the local member for the Electorate of Avon, was advised by every Minister concerned that a waste dump was being considered, located at The Avon Industrial Park.
This advisory is called common courtesy.
Trenorden got rid of the threat- but there is no-way known that Grylls was not told about the proposal and gave the thumbs-up.
For those that feel that Grylls and/ or even Davies, could not have marched into Colin Barnett’s office and shut the door on Allawuna by using the back door, then guess again. The only reason he was in office was because of them.
In 2012, all they would have had to have said is that the proposed site was on pristine farmland, just 80 kilometres from Perth and in an area that at least one major National domestic household insurer will not provide insurance cover because of the risk of natural disasters. Last, but by no means least, that the Nationals would refuse to allow it.
Later on-anyone who claims that Mia Davies made any genuine attempt to stymie this development on her electorate’s behalf is, unfortunately, having a major lend of themselves.
As an example several, so called, doyennes of York society were overheard praising the sterling efforts of Mia Davies in supporting the anti-Allawuna cause. It was then and still is-an absolute crock!
This might all be old news, but certainly not fake news, showing that there are many, many more people than you think who are responsible for allowing this cancerous, community sore to continue to grow for six-long-years.
The Shire of York may have been responsible for its origins, then totally inept in trying to stop it, but a lot more failed to put any political pressure on those who really could have stepped in behind the scenes and killed it off.
Congratulations to these people if this project finally comes to fruition. You should have had a WA Nationals guard dog, but you would not force it to bark to protect yourselves.
The only political figure to involve himself all the way to the floor of parliament
is Greens MP, Robin Chapple. Many do not agree with all Greens philosophies, but he did 100 times more than Mia Davies has.
Strange that! When the Nationals in this state, is basically nothing more than a farmer’s party (hoping that CBH does not go guts-up) and so many good farmers may suffer from it supporting trashing precious farm land.
The day the WA Nationals have a viable candidate who could actually win an inner metropolitan seat at a State Election, and a member in Federal Parliament, then it can actually be considered a real political party, with real policies and maybe even worthy of respect.
When you are driving around to find someplace doing well for itself where you can eat, drink and be merry and shop till you drop, go to Northam. The WA Nationals claim they did.
