What better reason to post the latest interview from our leadership team of @MiaDaviesMLA and @JacquiBoydell

For the nation’s good, I’d urge Liberal Party to adopt a rule change to prevent rolling political chaos. Our 2013 rule change (requiring 50% vote of MPs, 50% of ALL party members) means you can’t just launch a coup at the drop of a hat. It’s helped give Labor 5 years of stability
Julie Bishop was deputy Liberal leader for nearly 11 years. That’s pretty much the closest thing Australia has had to political stability in that time.
Australia. We owe you an apology. I’m sorry. You deserve better than many of the things our Federal Parliament has served up to you for the past 10 years. Believe me: there’s a lot of good people on both sides of the chamber and we can do better. Don’t give up. #auspol#shitday
“Tellingly, all six regionally-based Labor MPs voted in favour of the education cuts.
“The vote of the six regional Labor MPs to support the systematic demolition of education in their electorates is a shocking indictment of where their priorities lie.”

Under questioning from @MartyAldridgeMP @AlannahMac confirms she intended to fly from Perth to Moora on Monday - yes, fly instead of having her ministerial chauffeur drive the arduous two hours - but pulled out last minute because her plane couldn’t land 🙄#regionalstudentsmatter
