      Unfortunately its not only a case of corrupted politicians. I think with the after career board appointments its hard to argue against that. And also, WA Inc…

      But theres the fact that the only major media (sevenwest) in the State is owned by Kerry Stokes with deeply vested interests in mining.

      And then, most importantly, it comes down to that Upton Sinclair quote, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” Too many people in the State are ready to believe their industries arguments against possible reform before debate even begins, which it can’t due to the aforementioned media dominance by mining interests.
