There has been a shoot out between police and someone in Clarkson starting at 12 today (Wed 13 sept).

Please post any information if you have it. My partner is in the area and unable to leave. Estimates are that this will continue and the roads may be blocked west of the freeway as you head home.

Stay safe all and avoid the area.

Its wet, grey, and stormy today. Did you know?

In other, not unrelated news, the traffic is gona be slow, slip, and suck.

Anybody got a good rainy day song?

So, a little follow up from the Mark Mcgowan-EPA story.

Roger Cooks basically said today he'd back the mining industry peeps over the rest of WA.

I don't think he meant it to come across that way. But if your not in the mining industry, well it seems your pretty low priority. Or am I taking his words too negatively?

So, these exist. I'd be curious to see who buys them though.

Those commie bureaucrats are at it again! Next minute, they'll say we can't spend our money on white elephants!

Luckily, this clear morning has driven these wackos away!

Not to worry Fortescues going places now they've hired the guy that crashed the UK economy.

We can all relax and drink confidence tea, with great expectation biscuits!

~81 days till Astrofest 2023. A celebration of astronomy and stargazing held at Curtin university each year. Excellent speakers are there each year covering subjects like black holes, or latest Mars images. The Astrophotography competition is definitely worth a look also.

Houses or maybe other permanent structures, hotel/motel. Or even a specifically designed building that is reasonably easily convertable to the space needed for the time. A bit like how a Convention centre acts, but on a smaller scale.

The owner doesn't care about the building, its just a glorified mobile phone tower for them now. You can see it in one of the pictures.

Congrats to the WA winners!! Theres a fair few this year!

Sounds like this is another subsidy for the mining industry. This time, in the form of office space and networking support, for Canberra lobbying campaigns.

Am I being too cynical, and can the state actually benefit the most from this community hub?

Is anyone braving Forrest Place? I am really tempted , need a little convincing.
