WA Labor has a serious problem delivering the connections, roads and bridges our growing State desperately needs. The Government has shown time and again they simply can’t walk and chew gum when it comes to getting things built. If it’s not Metronet, they just don’t care. While billions of dollars continue to be funnelled into…
The age of artificial intelligence is upon us. It’s our generation’s industrial revolution. AI is transforming industries, supporting healthcare professionals and automating business operations. The potential of AI is all but limitless which makes it critical for both WA and the nation to approach this new era with vision, knowledge and strategy. WA has always been the…

Behaviour is learnt, so it’s time it was part of the curriculum My eldest passed her driving test earlier this year. She’s now happily zooming (safely) around the streets of Perth with her friends in tow, going through the drive-through at Maccas just because they can. This newfound freedom is a reminder of an important…
Productivity Commission appointment raises GST red flags Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ appointment of Danielle Wood as the Productivity Commission chair is a red flag for WA’s fair share of GST, and perhaps even the death knell of the Productivity Commission.

Voice could end up being flop of Fyre Festival proportions Remember the buzz surrounding Fyre Festival, touted as the ultimate luxury music event promising an unrivalled experience on a tropical paradise? With world famous music acts, A-list models, social media influencers, and lavish amenities promised, excitement reached a fever pitch with 95 per cent of…
