So he really shone during covid lockdowns when there was a great outer enemy (Clive Palmer). I think most of his policy has been pretty neoliberal. Subsidies for fossil fuel companies wanting to mine out WA. Housing policy that largely seems to be jangling keys in front of property developers. It's not that he's been all wrong, or that WA Labor has been (inasmuch as I've been involved in local politics). I suppose its mostly been disappointing to people who expected more after he stood up to big mining companies a few years ago.
