Comments on: WA part II: this election is Barnett’s to win. Or lose http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/08/08/wa-part-ii-this-election-is-barnetts-to-win-or-lose/ now with extra source Sun, 12 Feb 2012 07:14:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Patricia http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/08/08/wa-part-ii-this-election-is-barnetts-to-win-or-lose/#comment-9511 Patricia Thu, 01 Jan 1970 10:00:00 +0000 #comment-9511 Hardly surprising that Alan Carpenter and his government are "not liked" by Noel Crichton-Browne who with his bird of a feather fellow lobbyist Brian Burke has been so clearly exposed by the CCC enquiry commissioned by Carpenter who was willing to wear the political pain of bringing his own errant ministers to book. Why is Crikey using editorial commentary by such a biassed and discredited source as Crichton-Browne? This is not the pot calling the kettle black, this is a very grubby and discredited activist whose vindictive power peddling alongside Brian Burke has damaged both the Liberal party and the general body politic of this state. The Liberals will need to rid themselves of his pernicious influence and find their way to genuine reform before they can become even a credible opposition, much less a government.

he already is a loser: lost the last election, retired, went to tend his sheep, came back, forced out a preselected candidate to snatch back his seat.

You need policies to be able to govern, not more rehtoric. Anne it is definately the pot calling the kettle black isn’t it?

So NCB doesn’t like one vote one value, no suprises there really or maybe we should just let the residents of Nedlands, Dalkieth etc decide how the rest of us should live.

The Liberals don’t have any policy ideas, they are too busy changing leaders. You need policies to be able to govern, not more rehtoric.
