Libs bring out the dead


All the candidates for the WA State election are finalised and among the names we find a few surprises and a couple of laughs. I'll just highlight two of the Libs for now.




First off the rank has to be Graham Kierath returning as a candidate for Alfred Cove. Graham was a long-time Liberal MP and Minister for monumental failures, including Labour Relations and Health. He is unlikely to unseat sitting independant, Janet Woollard ... and we should all be thankful for that!



Graham seems to be in good company with the Libs also resurrecting failed Court (Dickie, not Sir Chuck) Minister, Roger Nicholls. He is well known for his poor management of Family and Community Services, among other notable events. I had a memorable clash with Roger in his early days as member for Mandurah and I find the man totally underwhelming. Roger is third on the ticket for South Metropolitan, which gives him little chance of taking a seat in the Council, so frankly I'm hoping he is merely trying to prop up the Libs rather than reinvent himself as a serious candidate.
