For mine, Sussan Ley has two years to prove she can at least be competitive at the expected 2028 Federal poll.

Dom Sheed had a chance at footy immortality and took it. It will be interesting to see whether Rita Saffioti or Amber-Jade Sanderson also manage to nail that kick from the boundary.

I don’t reckon Trump’s the only political leader to drop the F-bomb this week. I reckon Basil Zempilas would have dropped quite a few during the course of the week, albeit in private.
It appears Roger Cook is going all out to ensure the public is aware, there is a new sherif in town, and that Mark McGowan is well and truly part of Labor history.
Get ready for the Albanese-Cook selfie this week. These are good times for State and Federal Labor.
David Littleproud need only to look across the Nullarbor to see just how not to do it.
How Cook and Albanese navigate their four-decade friendship against the backdrop of expectations from their respective voters will be interesting to watch.
I think I speak for most West Australians when I say: ‘Thank God that’s over.’
The Opposition Leader tried to soften his image and win the WA love by visiting the west as much as he could. But that didn’t work.
In what was the all-important second-last week of the campaign, another significant world event made it even harder for Dutton to get any traction with voters.
There is every chance that if Dutton bombs here in the west on May 3, he will no longer be leader of the Federal Liberal Party.
Throughout the course of my 20 years of reporting on WA politics, I’ve often thought I had seen it all. But I have to say, Basil Zempilas’ first day at the office had a bit of originality about it.
As the saying goes, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
Has Albo repaid the faith West Australians had in him three years ago? We are about to find out.
Former WA Liberal Party leader Libby Mettam must retain health in a Liberal shadow ministry.
The fact that Anthony Albanese was a no-show in WA during the election campaign proper confirms what polling is showing — the PM ain’t as popular as he used to be here in the wild, wild west.
Barring divine intervention, Roger Cook’s Labor Party will win next Saturday’s election.
What’s Roger Cook’s pass mark at this election? Cook is like a guy who becomes the new coach of a footy side, just after they have won a premiership.
Albanese will be having kittens if the RBA decides to hold the cash rate this week given much of his political fortune is tied to the economy and the cost of living.
Maybe someone should tell the Nats and Libs that dirty tricks are played against the other side of politics – not against members of your own ‘family’.
The State election will be held on March 8 and in just three weeks, West Australians will be able to have their say as part of the early voting process.
Here’s to being an Aussie: Whatever that means these days.
Labor is too smart to go to an election while not significantly addressing the No.1 issue — the cost of living.
While all the attention is on whether Basil Zempilas will roll Libby Mettam after the election, keep an eye on Labor after its widely expected March victory.
