W.A. Premier Colin Barnett says in five years time we will all thank him for the local council amalgamations and ask ourselves what all the fuss was about, but the outcry is not about not wanting council mergers, it is about the fact that the Premier wants to force them when he said before the election he wouldn’t. It is also about getting better boundaries for the council mergers, not the lazy options the state government proposes.
