Colin Barnett, in his latest rant published on the front page of his lackey newspaper, the Wet Australian, blames everyone but himself for the problems of his government.It isn't what the government has done that's the problem, he bemoans, it's all the ungrateful people out there who don't appreciate what he has been doing for us.
Well, I've got news for you, Col - what we don't appreciate is what you've been doing to us. You care nothing for our concerns, our aspirations and our views - you just do what you want and disregard the rest of us.
Interesting that you don't even mention the farce of local government so-called reform you and your Minion/Minister, Homer Simpson, are attempting to force on the people of the metropolitan area.
You seem to be developing a pattern of behaviour of distancing yourself from issues when things start to go wrong. You did it with the Midland Health Campus ("why didn't somebody tell me earlier") despite evidence that you clearly were aware at the time of awarding the contract - and even if you hadn't been aware, as Premier you should have been aware of such a critical matter in a billion-dollar-plus contract.
Are you now doing the same with Homer - setting the scene to hang him out to dry when your local government house of cards collapses under its own contradictions?
You complain also about the use of the term "Emperor" as being disrespectful to the office of Premier. Well, Col, just look at how it is used - it's specific to you and has never been used for any other Premier, to the best of my knowledge. I don't know anyone who uses the term to be disrespectful of the office - it is simply a description of the style of the person who currently occupies that office.
Personal respect has to be earned, Mr Premier - and you have not earned it.
