@CaroDiRusso @Bankwest @CaroDiRusso - You're a lawyer. Does BankWest exiting the business market contravene CBA's obligation(s) with respect to BankWest under the Bank of Western Australia Act (1995)?

@ColinMendelsohn @TGAgovau Another so-called consultation with a predetermined outcome no doubt.

#bigpublichealth doesn't like vaping because it is unable - and never has - to control the narrative. It appears these health Nazis would rather people smoke cigarettes than switch to safer vaping.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@drjoesDIYhealth @AlexWodak @vaper_the @VaperNt @ColinMendelsohn @LegaliseVaping @LivePippas Now all you need to do is get #bigpublichealth in Australia on board.

Chances of successfully achieving that goal are not good.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@shanemcinnes How long before this - like most other Melbourne public toilets - takes vile and disgusting to a whole new level?

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@ColinMendelsohn @NSWHealth @qldhealth @AddictionJrnl The health Nazis will never surrender on vaping because they do not control the narrative.

At some point, their false claims will be tested legally and that is when problems will really begin for them.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@barriecassidy One thing that holds true is Australia's collective distrust of politicians.

The PM's dearth of detail may well prove his undoing.

The success rate of referendums since 1901 is just 18.4%.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@drjoesDIYhealth That statement is correct. It doesn't take into account the impact such powers have on the God Disease afflicted. I speak of people - mainly bureaucrats - who'll never miss the opportunity to exercise newly acquired authority simply because they can.

@nick_coatsworth Net result: Doctors won't bulk bill because they cannot afford to do so.

Then the likes of Barr, Andrews and Minns will alleged greedy doctors are profiting from patients.

It's called socialist logic. Cause a problem, then blame somebody else for it.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@drjoesDIYhealth Facts notwithstanding, the anti vape Nazis will never concede they may be wrong.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@drjoesDIYhealth Never allow inconvenient truths to interfere with ideological conviction, no matter how misguided.

Then when it inevitably blows up in your face, blame someone else for the ensuing debacle.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@mrpford The old adage of never allowing facts to spoil a good story no doubt applies.

Problem is, you don't know which facts have changed or the extent.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@CaroDiRusso Politicians opportunistically jumping on the Matildas - and every other bandwagon - is positively vomitus.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@rohancct @CaroDiRusso Here's a idea....

Have ordinary Australians on these councils. That way you may learn what everyday people think.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@MarinerMan2 @RitaPanahi @WestYorksPolice Same applies in Australia.

Police never bother investigating burglaries. The only reason people bother reporting is because their insurers demand it.

Burglaries have long been considered routine and not worthy of investigation.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@CaroDiRusso Only an arrogant, patronising politician without a clue would write such nonsense to farmers.

FYI @MurrayWatt farmers already know how - and have been - managing their land for generations.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@_davidlimbrick Just what we need - not - more Nannies telling us how to lead our lives.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@TheRealPBarry Younger person obviously wrote the line.

Team A to Verse Team B is an expression that emerged in the last 10 - 15 years.

Then again, if bastardisation of the English language is to be identified and discussed, we'll be occupied for a long time.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@CaroDiRusso @RogerCookMLA Roger Cook is substantially further left than Mark McGowan.

WA can expect more examples of left extremism as time goes by.

Cook's biggest problem is he will never garner support in the manner of his predecessor.

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@GemmaTognini And still the ACT votes for them.

At the risk of sounding heartless, Canberra has what it chose at the polls.

Those in the ACT can only blame themselves for the debacle in the Capital.

@markparton

[Chris Ilsley @chrisiperth]

@drjoesDIYhealth And less of them.

Perth does not need 30 councils - of hugely disparate populations - any longer.

The time for serious local government reform has long passed. Amalgamations must happen, despite resistance from some quarters.
