HERE COMES A TWIT! (And a face-to-face Facebooking with Mamamia.)

Greetings Voters

There’s chaos on Capitol Hill,

The Premier’s spending $80,000 on a new memorial to his greatness at Parliament House. It’s called Barnett’s Burger-Grill and Karaoke Bar.

I’ll sing my favourite “It’s Raining Men’ to the cheers of the Coalition and the jeers of Mark McGowan’s mob. They’re a tough audience.

A few weeks ago the Premier visited York with his Minister for Tourism tee-shirt on. Now he’s working out how to promote York’s rubbish dump as a visit to ‘SITARAMA-WORLD’ (the tip trip of a lifetime).
 Also, how to stop a tourist bus from getting embedded in a tree trunk along the Great Southern Laneway after narrowly avoiding a collision with a Sitarama dump truck.

Using his Mandarin name of Col  Bar Nett, the Premier recently visited China………..that’s China Town, Perth, to announce  a $30 million funding for Perth Events only.

Therefore York’s exciting events will continue to be watching the sun rise and then set 11 hours later.

The CEO of Tourism Western Australia, Stephanie Buckland, was an architect of ‘Experience Perth’ (but don’t go anywhere else because you’ll get lost and Perth’s Parmelia Hilton Hotel won’t be able to trash your Amex.)

Now she’s pulled the pin, preferring to deal with people with dementia, instead of politicians.

It’s rather sad really. Another four of the Premier’s advisory team have jumped ship and disappeared over the Rabbit Proof Fence. Maybe it’s his deodorant?

How’s this for local government transparency. The Mayor of Perth, Lisa Scaffidi will have to sit before SAT (then roll over and pretend to play dead). We can all rely on the honesty, integrity and probity of SAT and a spanking with a feather duster.

Now what have I been up to- you ask nicely?  Well, there’s ..............................and........... .................... of course………………..that includes…………………………a low hanging fruit pluck…………...then I’ll .....................  dollars ........................... in my electorate.

I’m no longer mother of my own press releases and I’m not happy about that Jan! They have to be co-authored by Barnett, Nahan, Holt, Redman and anyone else who can spell their own name.

Now here’s a bit of ‘Hot-Goss’! The West Australian Newspaper has been ringing up all its home delivery subscribers asking them if they’ve got a computer, iPhone or tablet.

You can bet your empty letter box that in the near future your cocky will be tearing his feathers out because he can’t read the cartoons on the bottom of his cage and it will be a lot harder to light the fire.

Not only will you be getting a newspaper without news, and paper, you will have to pay an online
subscription fee to “The West” and also to your own internet service provider, if you’re lucky enough to have one.

Or you can watch Channel 7’s new epic, ‘Kiss, Bang, Love’ where two contestants, wearing blindfolds, stick their tongues down each-other’s throats instead. I can hardly wait! 

Now if you see me wandering along, slightly lost, please return me to my electorate of Central, Hay, Barley, Oats, Canola………..ahhhh………….something with a Belt in it?

THE ADDRESSES ARE C/O THE OLD TOWN HALL, MITCHELL STREET, MERREDIN WA 6415, or NORTHAM BOULEVARD, FITZGERALD STREET NORTHAM WA 6401. A SUBSTANTIAL REWARD IS OFFERED.

    1. Stephanie Buckland has gained immeasurable experience for her new position - she has been dealing with State Politicians who all suffer badly from memory failure!

    2. The Treasurer got excited 'bout promoting Perth as the 'Chinese New Year' place to be for wealthy chinese. He added....they could purchase some real estate while they are here. Did Micky forget the Federal Government has recently ordered Chinese owned (non residential) properties overlooking the Swan River to be sold!

      Maybe he should go with the Stephanie Buckland - I am sure she would take good care of him!

  3. The Minister says he dosen't have any power to take diciplinary action in reference to Scaffidi. I remember Minister Simpson saying the same about York Councillors for many years. Then when Matthew Reid gets in he found the power. Now they've lost the power again.

    1. Ministers only use their power to topple those exposing corruption.

  4. Anonymous12 May 2016 at 15:32 - I agree.

    When I heard Simpson state he had no power over Scaffidi, I concluded the Minister for Local Government Simpson operates using double standards.

    OR

    Does Scaffidi have powerful people behind her that would be no match for Simpson?

  5. Simpson is the second Barnett Minister to say 'he doesn't have any power'.

    Mia Davies said the same thing about her role as Minister for Water. She has no power to protect our precious fresh water in Mundaring Weir!

    Seems W.A. Tax Payers are forking out for Ministerial salaries, cars, offices and support staff but when push comes to shove, the Ministers have no Power to do anything......unless they want to....or it suits their purpose, which was the case when Shire President Matthew Reid wanted the truth told!

    Barnetts Ministers must believe we are all stupid.

  6. How come the Minister for Money has power to tell us we have to pay more for Electricity, Water and car regos?

    We have all been paying third party Insurance on our rego. for years and that was introduced to cover innocent injured.
    This new fee is double dipping for the government coffers.
