Don't agree very often with the party he chose, but i's damn happy to see Ken Wyatt in Parliament representing Western Australians.

No argument on turnover of representatives, though I like the overall party to be in power long enough to plan/build major infrastructure projects. If the Liberal party got in power in the last election, we may have seen Metronet finish getting to the airport, but that's about it. Like what happened when Liberal came in and nerfed the NBN.

Even yesterday, when the train line got to Yanchep, they were moaning about how awful it is that over 100,000 people have access to reliable public transport. If they got in tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even finish the new Midland station. Probably just the carpark.

What I would love to see is more independent representatives. I'd love for the independents to make up 20% or more of every government. Wyatt coming back as an independent could work.

The NBN is such a strong example of that kinda shitfuckery, i'd like there to be clauses where work that has been started has to go on, but you just can't because of cases where there are genuinely unpopular projects like Roe 8. I don't know how you square that hole.

Even yesterday, when the train line got to Yanchep, they were moaning about...

I didn't see their comments on this.

I think the independents, but also for me minor parties, are an imprtant counterbalance to the pair. They let people who otherwise would remain voiceless see they have representation, even if the rest of the country finds their views crazy as building a Titanic 2 ;)

Ken Wyatt coming back as an independent is an interesting thought exercise to wonder how he would change, to how he'd be the same. Maybe he and his nephew should come back as a Minor party, they can be called "Wyatt United".
