First Barnett had the numbers to emasculate an Opposition motion critical of the Barnett/Simpson local government so-called reform process in the Legislative Assembly (http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/almost-but-not-quite.html).Then he lost a similar motion on the voices in the Legislative Council, because he didn't dare put it to a formal vote, knowing that some Liberal MPs would cross the floor (http://ianrker-vincent.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/more-cracks-and-not-just-in-facade.html).
And now, today, Barnett doesn't even have the numbers in the Legislative Assembly and is forced to allow a motion calling for a guarantee that local government amalgamations would not be forced to pass without a formal vote.
I congratulate those Liberal MLAs who have presumably made it clear to Col Pot that what he is doing is not acceptable in a democratic society.
Cracks become chasms and the imperial statue that Colin Barnett erected to himself is about to come toppling down - joining those of other dictators from Stalin to Saddam Hussein.
People Have The Power!
