YORK'S IN THE MONEY (Perhaps)

Regarding yesterday’s epistle to Mia Davies aptly called WHAT A CROCK!
It was about her interview, in The West Australian, on the business plans for the use of Royalties for Regions. Her statement that these uses had the approval of the appropriate department and herself, as a former Member of Cabinet, is astounding.

She has her own copy of “What a Crock “and so do a lot of other politicians.

Personally I have no animosity towards Ms. Davies and I hope she understands that. However, I have no respect for what she has achieved in the past which could be best defined as the ‘small stuff” while the trouble she caused was known as the “big stuff”.

As Minister for Water and Forests she was loathed by many who worked in these departments, creating a great deal of animosity with the experts who thought she was an interfering, unintellectual “Barbie Doll”.


They showed what they thought of her in the best way possible- they resigned.

She obviously has a few friends in the central Wheatbelt for whatever reason and is back as the Member for Central Utopia, also called La La Land. But she no longer has Brendon Grylls to watch her back!

It is probably that, unfortunately, the Central Wheatbelt has become such a basket case over the past eight years no other candidate really wanted to try and pick up the pieces.

The far more important news for York is that Premier Mark McGowan has committed himself, and $450 million, to destination tourism. York should make itself high on the list of these destinations

Alannah McTiernan, the new Minister for Regional Development has, a different mindset regarding much of the use of Royalty for Regions.

Painting swimming pools and planting petunias in the main street are out.

The new in is the forward- thinking infrastructure development of agricultural regions like the Wheatbelt including energy/ utility projects and much needed research.

So the future may be less rosy and more filled with capital works and other projects for the State’s most necessary granary.

Those I do have a deep and abiding loathing for and animosity against are some “Anonymous” pinheads who comment.

However, they have every right to show that they have no credibility, are nondescript, faceless and colourless and basically gutless. That is pretty much the lexicons’ (dictionary if you do not know) description of what an Anon-my-Arse is.

Ah yes- there is a difference between to and too. I am glad that Anonymous of April 9 pointed this out- and yes I certainly do know where York is. I think I no (sorry know) you. You are the two-headed Dumbo that loves wearing your tutu to much- or is it too much.

Dr. James Plumridge has my respect because he has the strength of character to use his name and express himself how he feels-using it. No-one really wants to hear from those who are not strong or proud enough of themselves to use their own name.

Regards
David Taylor.
