Facial recognition cameras gives WA police the tools they need "to catch the bad guys" according to Police Minister @ReeceWhitby. What a juvenile word usage. FFS, is that the best language this bloke can think of? @RogerCookMLA @SandraBrewerWA
I wonder why a real estate agent can witness a statutory declaration, or government declaration, but a Member of the Order of Australia cannot? @6pr @ABC @westaustralian @lazysundayclub
My wife Katherine flew to Auckland from Perth 3 days ago, travelling premium economy with Air New Zealand. As a seasoned traveller she was 'blown away' with the quality of the seating, the food, the staff, saying it made Qantas look pathetic. What do others think?
The WA @RogerCookMLA gov.,' will spend extra millions 'to keep people safe from shark attacks this summer' despite Perth recording only ONE death from shark attacks during peak summer over the past 100 years. Are we trying to fix a problem we don't have? @abcnews @Newstalk6PR
QF NEW FLIGHTS FROM JAKARTA TO PERTH. OPPORTUNITY? WELL, MAYBE..

Having a very junior minister responsible for child protection is ridiculous. This WA minister is terrified to speak on road safety issues, so God help vulnerable children in South Hedland. @RogerCookMLA needs to move this minister as a priority. @JessicaStrutt @Perth_Today
With @Qantas looking to fly between Perth and Jakarta as from year end @RogerCookMLA must lobby @AlboMP for simpler & cheaper visas to encourage Indonesians to come and get to know us. @thesundaytimes @westaustralian @benharvey @aibc @CCI_WA
Is @Qantas about to introduce a daily service between Perth and Jakarta later this year? What a win-win for both countries if this happens AND we make visa rules & processing easier? @Newstalk6PR @abcnews @News24Aust @perthnow @westaustralian @australian @Perth_Today
Interested in visiting the intriguing city of Belgrade, capital of Serbia...my story in today's The Sunday Times part of @westaustralian

There has been only one fatal shark attack along the entire Perth coast during the summer months, December to March in the past one hundred years. Yet we are panicking because a swimmer is killed in September when Great Whites are abundant as they follow the whale migration.
Who is the idiot minister issuing a 'catch n kill' order on the great white shark that killed a swimmer last Friday. The shark is probably off Busselton by now. It's all optics with the @RogerCookMLA government.
Just don't swim in September. @6PR @Perth_Today @abcnews @theage

No surprise at fatal shark attack in Perth. Great Whites follow whale migrations every September. Yet on Perth coast, only 1 fatal shark attack in 100 years during peak summer. No Great Whites around. @RogerCookMLA @Perth_Today @perthnow @6PR @abcnews @DailyMail
"Just madnesd" is how Police Minister @ReeceWhitby described the behaviour of teenagers who broke into the crocodile enclosure at Perth Zoo.
But Reece, your words perfectly describe your own handling of over 80,000 sash belt fines issued to innocent Perth drivers? @abcnews @6pr
When teenagers climb into a crocodile enclosure, a lack of common sense is immediately obvious according to @ReeceWhitby
When a child moves a sash belt under their arm, however, common sense seems considerably harder to find.
Perhaps Dangalabba the crocodile could explain it?
Seat Belt fiasco thanks to @ReeceWhitby
No wonder he got fired by @RogerCookMLA nationalswa.com/ai-camera-fi…

Forest fires happen with the clearing of forests, changing them into huge plantations in Indonesia. Environmentalists and Indigenous leaders have been protesting against deforestation but they face companies with SLAPP actions share.google/0Zut54avVRSNlsh…
Smoke from Indonesian forest fires has crossed borders into Malaysia, Singapore & the Philippines.
Monitoring fires, forecasting smoke movement & issuing timely warnings can help protect public health.
WMO’s Air Quality & Climate Bulletin is out 7 September, #CleanAirDay.
