Perth / Western Australia

Would this be the first time Woodside are getting into shale? If so, I wonder if they're planning to broaden their expertise in shale collection through this aquisition to apply it further in Aus? Might be a peripheral benefit Woodside are seeking.

Novelty size invoices, love it!

So did anybody here this noise? Do you think it was an aircraft? Or just a particularly vigorous snore from the judge in the Linda Reynolds v Brittany Higgins case?

Likely a pipe dream at this stage. But having just visited south bank in Brisbane it would be awesome to create something similar here.

What I liked about south bank: -big shady trees to sit under Lots of nice places to hang out that don't require you to be a customer open access pool, water playground. Lots of places to eat

If Perth tried to do it, we would need to bring in the team who did south bank, and keep away the clowns who made the shadeless concrete wind tunnels like yagan square and Elizabeth quay.

Does anybody remember these little guys? I don't know if I do.

The Freo Pilot service has been around for nearly 200 years, thats sooner after colonisation than i'd have guessed.

I'm guessing the Kwinana facility will still have a pilot service, but theres no way the docks down there will be as tricky for the container ships as Freo is.

Sounds like a really good spot for a primary school.

Housing right next to the primary school and the rates associated with them, plus $4 million... sounds like a fair plan to me.

Zempilas is politicising a wet fish for the attention here.

Why are we so obsessed with our lawns! Now we're laying grass in the Ocean! Lawn culture in the country is out of control! The Gobernet needs to take action against these Horticultural extremists! /s

F.o.K.P. Case against & Online Form (their "survey")

What a joke!

I don't know what i think of the issue itself, but the Friends of Kings Park group should be ashamed of themselves this morning.

Putting an online form on their website, and having essentially their network fill it out is not an gauge of public sentiment. And undermines the legitimacy of good faith attempts at data gathering.

Restricting sections of the botanic garden to provide high-priced accommodation for a select few does not align with this vision.

This is one of the examples of leading the respondent in their preamble.

By leaving it as an online form, and taking no demographic information this "survey" is no better than online product reviews and as such should be ignored by the government.

The Gov now probably need to employ a company who actually know how to conduct a survey to gauge real public sentiment, whatever that may be.

Good day for lunch in the sun.

So I rocked up to a poetry slam at the Rosemount but it was $10 cash only to watch. So I went to the bar and bought a pint on my phone instead.

4wd and mountain bike riders would be a natural set to do classes like this with as well.

Might be a bit late for a doco now, but this ones an interesting watch.

Never really thought about a whole community living pretty much full time on the islands, but there ya go.

I reckon its time for a change to the way we build homes here. Our current method seems slow, wasteful, and needlessly costly.

I often go for date night around Freo and we're getting sick of going to the same places over and over (Frida Mexicana, Gage Roads, Mexican Kitchen, and Spice Market). If you have any favourite places around Freo to dine, I'd love to hear them! (Especially if you can walk away from them feeling like you didn't just get ripped off - a very difficult task in 2024!)

Well done ECU!

Sounds like we have the beginnings of our own home grown F1 team with these students!

There's something smelly going on here.

I haven't linked the watoday article from last week about this due to the strike. But if people want it, it is a short scroll down.
