Fortescue Metals Group founder adds another iconic WA building to his property portfolio, with his Minderoo Group agreeing to take over the lease of the Old Swan Brewery heritage buildings.

For parochial drinkers and history buffs, they are a reminder of a time when local beer drinkers professed loyalty to either Swan or Emu beers, even though both were brewed by the Swan Brewery from the early 20th century.

WA heritage records say the existing buildings"are a physical embodiment of the generally accepted significance of beer to the Australian ethos".Swan shifted its brewing operations to Canning Vale in the 1980s, with the brewery buildings now housing apartments, restaurants, a car park and commercial space.

I don’t have a PC bone in my body, this is laughing about sexual assault, and boofheads laughing with them. Just normalising and kind of saying it’s okay to do it and you can laugh about it in a podcast like it’s all great. I like these guys normally but FFS grow up

Perth mum taken to court after hitting daughter with wooden spoonThe 35-year-old was found to have used an unnecessary amount of force when she hit her nine-year-old daughter with the spoon in October last year. I stole mandarins off my next door neighbours tree and got a flogging by my dad with a piece of wood that was for the combustion stove. Did me no harm.or did it? I was hit with a wooden spoon to instill discipline and I’m glad I turned out the way I have. Seriously, piss off to the people who are against this. It’s no wonder we have little shits running around doing crime. No discipline!! God, what has the NS come POC community come to? A generation of wimps.
