Firm decisions
Well, well, what’s this on the WA Liberals’ website?
Deputy Coalition Leader Max Trenorden says the Gallop Labor Government is attempting to erase history by removing all of the party’s 2001 election policies from the State ALP website…
Oh, this is funny. A press release complaining about disappearing policies, on a website whose policies are suddenly absent the minute the election is called!
When Labor updates its campaign promises after four years, that’s “erasing history.”
When the Liberals delete their policy platform after four days, that’s “making firm decisions and sticking by them.”
Update: The policies are back — though they’re still called “position statements” when you download them. Flip-floppers.
RE the missing positionstatements, it seems they are on the official Leader Of The Opposition Site http://www.loop.wa.gov.au/html/pol0.asp
Very well hidden if you are relying on the WA Liberal site for policy statements.
They’re Baaaaaaaaaaaack

Downloading the word file shows that they’re still known as “position statements”.
Strange Mob those libs are :-)
Sounds like routine WEB-SITE CHANGES.
…except that the website hasn’t actually changed. The election was called, the policies disappeared, and then somebody realised the hypocrisy. Maybe it was Max Trenorden himself! He’s quite happy to get stuck in to the Libs at the moment.
Also, it is interesting to note that The KLkibs were having a strategy meeting THIS MORNING, to plan their advertising campoaign for the Election !!!!
To the credit of the ALP, they’ve gone on the front foot by airing their first ads last night. In fact Ch 10 ran the first ad in the first ad break of the 5pm News. also, the Postal Vote application flyer for the ALP was in today’s post.
It seems we have learnt from Howard’s campaign, while the Flintstones are lagging terribly.
The Libs are desperate to shoot themselves in rhe foot.
They’ve gone AWOL Again.
Make up your bloody mind Colin !!!!!!

Let’s hope Labor makes some wise preference deals this time around.
They finally have some policies

only 3, Mandatory Reporting of Child Abuse, Childeren’s commissioner and Censorship – fairly low order stuff, and not a whiff of anything economic !!!
Oh and they”re the same “position statments” minus the letterhead of old and in pdf format.
Spineless wonders :-)
Another update – the “Pre-Election Policy Positions” are back up in Word format. I’m assuming they’ll be changed to policies as they’re announced :-)
This is making a mockery of their Election Statement.
