After 24 hours of drama, Roger Cook becomes the next premier of Western Australia

The man who rose to prominence leading Western Australia through the COVID pandemic alongside Mark McGowan becomes its 31st premier after a factional deal.

My thoughts on the resignation of WA Premier Mark McGowan theconversation.com/mark-mcg… @ConversationEDU
Mark McGowan quits in his own time, after dominating Western Australian politics

Mark McGowan quits in his own time, after dominating Western Australian politics

After the departure of their popular and wildly electorally successful leader, Labor’s Roger Cook and Amber-Jade Sanderson are among those touted as possible successors.

Really sad to hear of the passing of Russell Woolf. He was a great bloke. He was always warm, always made you feel relaxed, and always engaging. Authentic in every way. He'll be really missed; my thoughts to everyone in ABC Perth at this time.

Dorothy Dixers will be scrapped from Question Time in NSW Parliament under reforms being considered. The ABC understands the change has overwhelming support and will come into effect in August. #nswpol

The four changes needed to bring WA's political system up to scratch

Our electoral laws and processes need improvement to ensure the democratic principles of fairness, integrity, and transparency. Four areas of reform are needed.

This is why we need a Federal anti-corruption agency. Its astounding that we still don't have this at the national level.. thewest.com.au/news/crime/fa…

How WA fat cats built system of bribery and corruption

Cash bribes, boozy lunches and overseas trips are among some of what the corruption watchdog has found inside WA’s health department.

I love the MCG but this is spot on thewest.com.au/sport/mark-du…

The MCG grand final deal is nothing but a VFL relic

Victorians gnash their teeth when a single game is sold to a non-Victorian club as if precious integrity has been compromised. But they have been selling it off to themselves since in 1987.
