Legislation to secure the delivery of Stony Rise development has passed the House of Assembly.

It’s embarrassing that Premier Rockliff had to wait for Labor to act first before jumping on board.

Two months after the Premier promised to “immediately identify” a way to make sure the Stony Rise Village development could go ahead – he had done nothing.

24 hours before the Opposition Leader pledged Labor’s strong support for the development, the Premier was still giving wishy-washy statements to the media.

“We have also made it clear we will consider all avenues, including legislative changes – if necessary – as soon as practicable,” the Premier said.

Then, only hours after Dean Winter committed to support the project with legislation in Parliament, the Premier followed his lead.

The Premier’s inability to get the job done by himself is just another sign that he is struggling.
