Plenty of NAIF's funding has been directed to concessions for profit-seeking projects rather than infrastructure for general use. Its unclear what the public benefit will be. #auspol https://t.co/ACibUNcViU

Great to see more coverage of the disaster at Yagan Square. Heartbreaking how so many small businesses were cleaned out. The state government needs to thoroughly look at DevelopmentWA. https://t.co/8RDHKUlKXt

My pick for debate strategy tonight - Zak highlighting some of the local candidates in depth? Would fit with the Vote Liberal Local theme.

What does WA get from $10bn+? What did the projects score with Infrastructure Australia? #wapol https://t.co/SeFv5VYd6h

Four or five police cars just rolled up at the Hyatt on St George's Terrace. Folks appear to be masked up. So make of that what you will.

Data from an interesting report by EY a few years ago. #wabiz https://t.co/QlGZaiADjB

Hydrogen, downstream processing, all the stuff people love. There's now about $8bn of chemicals projects proposed in WA, maybe more. #wabiz https://t.co/HU8CBXEYTf

Steel production up 6.6% in November worldwide compared to the same month in 2019. Good sign for WA iron ore!

All a new WA Liberal leader has to do is not lose more than a couple of seats and it'll be praised as a huge success, given how low expectations are right now- but you can be guaranteed it will not be as dire as the worst polls suggest.

"(We're in) the most consequential strategic realignment since the end of WW2" - @lindareynoldswa says at the @wabusinessnews breakfast today.
