Perth's gutter-clogging rag The West Australian (Kerry Stoke's Seven West Entertainment) is covering for Netanyahu's Gaza genocide.

More propaganda from the elites.

Front of The West has super bold headline thusly:
Albo
Ga Ga
Over
Gaza.

Preceeded by "Labor's Two-State Fantasy" & followed by "PM uses UN address to target Israel and grandstand on terrorist-controlled Palestine."

#thewestaustralian complaining about people “revelling” in #charliekirk death. This is the man who took one for the team so Americans have the freedom to own #guns…his own words. He believed some people will be sacrificed for that right. He doesn’t care, this man a father of 2 little girls, that children were the sacrifice.
I think people celebrating his death is a small thing compared how much he celebrated children’s deaths.

#thewestaustralian under the headline Andrews’ soirée with despots.

This included the
*The President of Indonesia (our neighbour)
* Romania officials…as soon as #Russia invaded #Ukraine they sent everything to help the Ukraines.
# Turkish officials (crazy but definitely a democracy)

This will bite the WA.

The local real estate and homeware flyer aka has some fine in an article about cuts to ambulance staff.

Text of quote in alt-text.

"Ambulance boss raises spectre of retreat from purpose"?

Please post your translation of the corporate speak in Replies.

extracted - "This change represents a potential reduction of just 2% of our paid team." 
"That doesn't lessen the human impact, but I share it to provide perspective. This is a targeted reset, not a retreat from our purpose, but a recalibration to deliver more sustainably."
"Over the past two years, we have made significant investments and much of that heavy lifting is now complete."
"As we move into the next phase, we are shifting from building to embedding, from breadth to focus, from investment to consolidation."  - attributed to St John WA CEO, Kevin Brown

Hold on kids, Mrs R-- needs to have a rant about an article in The West...

... I believe they never should have abolished the Dip Ed in the first place. Reinstating it won't fix the teacher shortage, but it's a start.

The GradDipEd was a baptism of fire and the workload of cramming all your teaching study into a single postgrad year (while working your uni job) matched the workload you faced as a beginning teacher.

It was adequate preparation. The fact that I'm still in teaching, almost 20 years later, attests to this. And I'm offended by the implications in this article. If I'm good enough for one of Western Australia's most desirable public schools on a Dip Ed, there's surely nothing wrong with my training!

Below is today's editorial.
Remember this is 's paper.
And the local economy is more important than effective defense for Australia.
And that everything is Albo's fault.
And no judgement is passed on Trump.

Thank goodness if they implement this in WA. GPs already have limited authority to prescribe here but can only issue the patient's current dose, as my son's GP confirmed at his last appointment.

In other ADHD-related-weirdness news, I know the percussive, Pavlovian sound of a shaken Concerta bottle, I realised with shock at the chemist when I got up to collect it without being called!

#thewestaustralian Super tax inflames housing calamity. #super #tax #katwong

* while in most cases or any other case I would agree with this possibility that this taxis only going to impact less then 1% of the population ie about 50000 people the impact on housing would be negligible. These guys would have investment in all sorts of stuff beyond most people’s wild dreams.

's low-grade, LNP-promoting newspaper/real estate flyer, had the below.

Suspecting genAI.
No journalist name, no researcher name, speaks of increase but shows no older figures. And the following ridiculousness?

"More than a third (34 per cent) reported a decline in their desire to work in science."

Yuckie, kinda like dried chook droppings.

looks like it needs to include training in how to respond to bullying and harassment.

Newspaper article.
Titled: Some slighted by science.
Body: Forty-one per cent of scientists globally have been harassed or intiminated as a result of their work.
Griffith University-led research found that scientific findinds are increasingly being attacked or downplayed, and scientists themselves face intimidation or harassment.
More than 40 per cent of those affected said their career prospects had worsened following incidents of harassment. More than a third (34 per cent) reported a decline in their desire to work in science.

The local newspaper, The West Australian, owned I think by Kerry Stokes, burrowed into Trump's diapers and somewhere around his perineum declared itself to be between the devil and idiocy.


Front page of The West Australian newspaper, Wednesday 6 November, 2025.

Top photo shows Trump, arms outstretched, in front of a rally crowd.

Headline reads, "Between the devil and the idiocy"

Bottom photo shows Harris, arms outstretched, in front of a rally crowd.

So these little darlings are running around looking for .

Sure it involves , but what else can folk-like-this do?

, the for , in who a former Premier held controlling interests in shares and would tell the editor which stories would not be published, continues it's trash coverage and tries to inflame fears about , and so increase support for .

If you want to troll the archives then compare this story with coverage of Department of Immigration illegally "deporting" a mentally ill Aussie citizen while was Minister.

From the front cover of The West Australian, a rag that would be totally abysmal but for the contrast with Fox News and Sky After Dark.

Header reads "Clive's lawsuit double bombshell"
