Well, the state elections for this state of Western Australia are over and the Labor party has won in what has been correctly called a landslide. The incumbent government of the Liberal Party took a punt on joining with a very controversial party, One Nation, in a preference deal. One Nation is a Donald Trump style baby party with the party’s leader, Pauline Hanson espousing Donald Trump like pronouncements about race issues, vaccination and an embarrassing praise of Vladimir Putin etc etc.
A major road project commenced in the lead up to election day is to be cancelled in the next couple of days.
The controversy about this road project is a fair bit of NIMBY (not in my back yard) both from for and against people. The project was a plan to ease trucking traffic on a highway and extend a freeway road through some wetlands and through a suburb with a six lane highway estimated to serve around 5,000 trucks a day.
Part of the bush-land clearing for the 5 kilometre freeway extension known as Roe8.

You have explained very well the political scenarios. But work should be done as Labor party has promised regardless of any pressure and understanding.
