    he's still popular, but grumblings of discontent are starting..

    if WA continues to see the rest of Australia enjoying 'normal' life, with full sporting venues etc, then the discontent will continue to grow..

    I think he will survive that come the next election.. the kryptonite, which is starting to get a little more traction, is the dire position of the public health system (emergency departments, mental health support facilities etc).. he's had years of record budget surpluses to fix it all, including getting the state ready to deal with Covid once the borders are relaxed - but nothing has been done.. we still wouldn't be able to deal with a major outbreak now, which I'm sure is part of the reason for his strong border stance

    he talks about new doctors and nurses being imported (including from overseas), but they are paltry numbers and don't address the problem
