There will be a nurses’ strike soon in Western Australia. Barnett is meeting with them but will not sign up to anything that takes effect before the election. He is famous for breaking his promises and must be odds-on stone-motherless to lose now.
There wil be of course no Newspoll in the next two weeks to show Labor gaining. That would not suit the Great Helmsman and it will not occur.
News reports just out suggest Barnett has backed down..yay.
