agreed, the WA Liberal moderates like George Cash, Michaelia’s dad, and agrarian socialists in the WA Nationals and WA Labor Party make it totally useless.
Just a breeding ground for WA Liberal moderate hacks that so supported the now irreparably tarnished careers of Christian Porter, Michaelia Cash and Linda Reynolds.
If the Legislative Council survives, losers like Nahan, Kirkup and Harvey could make it back into politics through the Council. that would be a shocking result for democracy in WA.
Using their numbers in the MLCs, WA Liberal Moderates have firebombed the Liberal Party through putting forward the poorest identity politicians like Cash, Reynolds, the Michael Rowland like Kirkup and the ideologically unaligned Porter.
When they throw out Christian Porter, Linda Reynolds, Michaelia Cash , Liza Harvey and Zac Kirkup, they can help themselves by throwing out the Legislative Council as well.
Not a very center right, moral majority thing to do, but necessary IMHO.
Keeping the MLCs would be like keeping the Paul Fletcher/ Cash supporter running the ABC, sure it took down the Nats and Joyce but the extremist LWNJ ABC go feral and purges every other Liberal as well, competitor moderates to Fletcher/ Cash, conservative Libs as well as Nats.
Fletcher/.Cash led ABC is destroying the joint and disregarding WA.
WA is very far from ABC’s Ultimo and Docklands studios and from the cafes of Fletcher, Milligan, Cash, Zappacosta, Lisa Wilkinson, Fitzsimmons and Michael Rowland.
Liberals are finished if Porter, Cash, Reynolds, Kirkup, Fletcher and Harvey remain in Parliament and prominent in the Party.
Just ask Zappacosta and Rich Price,
