Looks like Labor is about to approve the North West shelf gas expansion, which among bad news for the planet and WA energy costs is terrible for the nearby Murujuga rock art - which is so old, it has one of the first known depictions of the human face

There won't be another election, the Greens and independents would just decide who they will support in no-confidence motions should that ever happen.
