I am Wesley's mother. I have waited 6.5years for the legal proceedings to be finalised, and yesterday the court found his manager guilty of neglect which caused his death.

@Live_Animation_ @margaretpaul @abcmelbourne Absolute moron.

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

@margaretpaul @abcmelbourne What kind of idiot stands around filming that. Person is lucky they weren’t killed.

@drnicxie Serving the state is not about the money you earn. You make that sacrifice to be in service. But appreciate it would feel quite unfair as a member of the medical profession to see this level of pension payment when nurses are fighting over pay rises.

@smith_damian Phew!

WA’s new Health and Safety laws (WHS Act) come into effect today - helping to ensure others never suffer what I have suffered or feel the fear that my son did as he fell to his death. @BillJohnstonMLA @OwenWhittle #industrialmanslaughter

@tomrsnow Dig your stance. Not enough people have a strong enough one.

@G_Parker Can’t wait for this!

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

@ACOSTARELLA That is a shockingly poor lack of humanity.

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

@GrumpyBaker2 @abcperth Yes your absolutely right. Despite the death of my son during the refurbishment works @hm Perth city store. H&M went on to award two more stores to the same contractor. Vulgar. #zerofucksgiven

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

@Bobslaki1 @sallymcmanus No one should but it’s all too common. Wesley’s story is not special sadly.

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

My sons employer convicted of causing his death handed down heaviest penalty in WA history - 320k. Although fine insignificant in value, very significant in setting precedent of 80% of Max. Under new WHS laws soon to be enacted this fine would convert to $2.8M. Win.

Company fined $320,000 after teen worker falls to his death at Perth construction site https://t.co/qIRopK0nFZ

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

@lainieaquietoz @DianaRyall Tis the culture on many construction sites.

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

@Penelope111122 Indeed the worst. Wes should have been treated like an endangered species.

@AlisonXamon Ditto 💜

[Regan Ballantine @ReganBallantine]

Cracking valedictory speech @AlisonXamon You gave a voice to so many of the voiceless in your time in Parliament. Including giving my son’s story a voice too. Thank you deeply. 🙏🏻Your Dad would be more than proud. We all are. 💜
