Western Australia needs equal voting rights for the voters in Western australian state elections,

being inferior to other people in Western Australia.

I stood as a candiate for the Neerigen Ward in the
Armadale City Council Election in the 2015 local government election.
My web page about my candidacy in this election, is at
Bret Busby 2015 Neerigen Ward Candidate Portfolio .
We do not have much say, as electors, in what the council does, but,
we can, and, should, decide who are the councillors,
by voting in the local government elections.
I stood as a candidate for the seat of Armadale in the 2005 state election. My policy statement from the election, is at Bret's policy statement .
One of the issues involved in that election, was the issue of trading hours in WA. If you want to read some real facts about trading hours in WA, and, if you have an open mind about trading hours in WA, I have a web page about trading hours in WA, at Bret's Trading Hours Web Page .
As you may or may not be aware, from time to time, the local newspapers publish Letters To the Editors, from me. To see the full text of the letters that I have sent, go to the web page at Letters To Editors .
I intend to maintain a web page for comment about issues that affect Armadale, as they arise. The web page about issues affecting Armadale, is at Armadale issues .
