Yeah, it just beggars belief .
The tale of two mandates
by Raiderup.
In the WA state election , the WA labor party win a landslide election result over the libs , one of their main policies was not to proceed with the Roe 8 development, some would say they have a mandate given the election result.
Shock and horror , scomo wins the unwinnable election , and given their tax policy ( tax cuts ) was one of their main policies , they said they had a mandate to implement their policy.
Now for some reason , the federal libs despite WA labors election win and thus mandate , still have on the table , $ 1.2 billion for the Roe 8 project.
Indeed the fool frydenberg on 6PR last week , when asked could the money be moved to a project which WA labor government agree on said ," no ".
Meanwhile the one gem, possibly the biggest gem potentially for some time, hydrogen, is a priority for the WA labor government and indeed throughout the world. The money languishing on the table ,could catapult WA's hydrogen plans into a market leader, alas the pathetic libs are playing politics, the state and the country will be the loser.
"Mr Rijksen also said the technology could start a lucrative new industry in the Pilbara.
“I believe this project could become bigger in future, or could be the start of many more projects and allow for a lot of industry to make use of the same hydrogen,” he said.
“It could really put Karratha on the map as the hydrogen hub of Australia. It really has that kind of potential.”
City of Karratha Mayor Peter Long said Karratha’s abundant sunlight and infrastructure made the area “perfectly placed” to take advantage of the emerging clean hydrogen industry.
“If successful, this project could generate billions of dollars of investment, create new jobs and opportunities for businesses, and provide a significant boost to the local economy,” he said. "

Seriously, I have nothing but contempt for the libs, why ?, it would seem a mandate, is only a mandate , if its in their favour.
