'Unchartered territory': Blame game begins as WA Liberals take stock of generational wipeout

The retiring Dr Nahan, whose former seat of Riverton has fallen into Labor's hands, said there were significant campaign missteps."And I think, in the end, you will see his statement that "we have lost", that we had no chance of winning, just was not right.

And Dr Nahan said there had been a failure to develop policy over the party's four years in opposition.Dr Nahan also took aim at the party's dominant powerbrokers, Nick Goiran and Peter Collier, describing it as an issue the Liberal Party must address."They have to take part of the responsibility for the result here," he said.

The only two Liberals definitely left in Parliament are Libby Mettam and David Honey, with Sean L'Estrange having some chance of holding onto his seat of Churchlands."We'll have plenty of time to talk about that over the next few days and, as a party, deciding how we respond.

That’s what happens when you send a boy to do a mans job.

LNP have done such a great job enriching the 1% that the rest of the population has now become the working poor. No-one left to vote LNP!

It's no longer the Liberal party in WA , now it's reduced to gathering status, love it!

I don’t get that and I wouldn’t read too much into it. Being very strong about your border works electorally (more in some states than others it seems). Worked in Queensland. Plus Covid has sucked the oxygen away fromstate oppositions, even in Victoria

*Uncharted, for shite’s sake. It’s an analogy about maps, not about documenting the rights of corporate bodies

Let me guess, it's all Labors fault......HAHA yes it was fortunately!

Love it

The purge season is finally upon us.

At least Zak had a green economy policy, Labor has been a laggard on climate and renewables in WA.

Maybe if the Liberals stopped turning spoilt entitled private school boys into politicians, they would get more votes. auspol

I would like to see Zak stay on 👍 The party obviously needs to rethink closing down coal fired power stations, thats what back fired on the Fed ALP. WA is a mining state for fucks sake, coal is going but we still need it for a while yet. 👍

Will the Libs be blaming Labor as usual haha?

UnCHARTED, not unchartered, ffs.

The words generational wipeout seemed more important than either uncharted or unchartered anything,

ROFL LizaHarveyMLA implies that it’s “dangerous” for Labor to hold so much power but this is the muppet that demanded state borders be opened at the height of a deadly pandemic. You handed them the power on a silver platter Liza, they didn’t even have to work for it.

Frankly the election wasn't for the LNP to win, but for Labor to lose, which wasn't even remotely likely given the support shown by McGowans position throughout the pandemic and the utter disaster the Fed LNP are doing on the national front

Bye bye 😘

Obviously who to blame for Libs doing so poorly in WA. Leader blaming for surrendering and not fighting. So what do you think you did Lib Voters? you quit & voted Labor, some of you for the first time! hypocrites its WAS your Party you destroyed

Unchartered you say?

Dear editor. It's 'uncharted' territory. Not 'unchartered'. 🙄

Please hire some good sub-editors that know English. It’s ‘UNCHARTED’ - not ‘unchartered’. A very common boo-boo, but not what I expect from the ABC. Or is it?

'Unchartered territory' - you can't get there by private jet.

I think its great that the tassie tiger has been replaced by the WA liberals on the extinction list

It is 'uncharted territory' FFS!

The pendulum swings.

Morrison and Porter didn’t help I get the feeling the Federal Liberal’s are in trouble in the West

'Unchartered' territory or perhaps just uncharted?

Global timber shortages and HomeBuilder scheme to blame for building delaysA sharp increase in global demand for building products during the COVID-19 pandemic is causing delays on Australian construction sites and prompting calls for changes to the HomeBuilder scheme. Which brings us to the question of whether steel frame housing is the future, which would be better for the environment and Australia if it can revive its steel manufacturing sector. 🙂

China says ‘insane’ Australia to blameChina has described its decision to cancel bilateral trade talks as a “necessary” response to Australia’s “insane” actions and “Cold War mentality”. Recall your ambassador and shut the embassy…. The less China has to do with us, the better. They are already deeply rooted in our university and business systems, and show more interest in peaceful invasion by investiment and infiltration, than being an external business partner. Insanely exporting virus, human misery, pollution and trying to gas light the world. CCPVirus
