Western Australia is hopelessly captured by the fossil fuel industry. They control a large chunk of the news media, and they (along with other mining interests) bankroll government. We have to find ways to combat our conversation into a petro-state.

Mark McGowan to stand down as WA Premier in shock announcement
amp.abc.net.au/article/1024066
WA Premier Mark McGowan has announced he is retiring from politics in a bombshell announcement few saw coming.

Rumour has it that he's retiring due to burnout. My sympathy goes to him and his family. This reminds me of Jacinda Ardern having to quit as New Zealand PM due to burnout — you work your guts out for years, and then one day it hits you that you have nothing left in the tank.

I'd like to thank Mark McGowan for being a Premier who's strong on policy that encourages equality, jobs, much-needed honesty after the shitsow from the LNP, and overall giving a fair go for all. And, I should be noted, he held strong against pressure from the outside to protect people in Western Australia from COVID.
