FREMANTLE THE PREMIERS CITY
The West Australian claimed yesterday that former WA Premier Mark McGowan has moved from Rockingham to Fremantle.
I have not seen Covidman around the Freo traps yet, but welcome to you and your family, Mark!
We already have former WA Premier Peter Dowding living in South Fremantle, so now good old Freo is the home of two ex Premiers.
UPDATE: Greens MLC Brad Pettitt just made me aware that we have a third former Premier living here. Carmen Lawrence lives in North Fremantle.
Nice to see that former WA Premiers appreciate Freo, but why have our State Governments of the past, Labor and Liberal, done so little for our port city?

And former Premier Geoff Gallop lived in South Fremantle in the early 1980s when he was still teaching at Murdoch Uni – before he became the MP for Victoria Park.

Have we forgiven him for foisting that godawful nightmare of a statue on us? It’s a terrible shame someone stole “Bella” not the hectoring horror. Such a shame as Curtin was the antithesis of how he is portrayed by it.

It is a terrible statue. Far too stiff. I did not know about the process and J Shed artist Greg James being 4-minutes late with his tender documents. Very interesting.

Thank goodness the former Premier has forgiven us for an early stoush over the John Curtin statue at the Town Hall https://freotopia.org/fhs/newsletter/2006-01.pdf

I did not know that! I thought she lived in Subi. I will have to correct that. Thanks Brad!
