I thought a labor supermajority would be able to actually be slightly progressive without the fear of being voted out. Just goes to show how far they've drifted from their roots.
WA Labor has to respond to the circumstances of the State, and WA is dominated by mining and farming industries. The practices in those industries often run counter to a great deal of modern progressive policies.
Not saying its impossible to be progressive, but WA Labor probably has a tougher time than in other places bringing a minimum amount of WA people 'metaphorically' along with their policy proposals. Especially where those industries mount their own campaigns pushing back at the governments proposals.
