Did you miss me? Was one day without TWOP too much for you? I was going to apologise for missing my first ever day until I saw that no-one had congratulated me, firstly for getting several paragraphs in the Australian, (TWOP appears to becoming a player in the reshaping of the city), and secondly for turning over 100 000 hits in four months. Text of the OZ below. Thanks to James for pointing out that it’s online HERE.

I was going to be at the computer, waiting for the 100,000th eyeful, but we took a leaf out of the esteemed site creator’s notebook and went to Funbury for a couple of days.

Yes, thanks and congratulations LA. I look forward to seeing the online store, with hats, t-shirts and bumper stickers; the book version “The Best Of The Worst Of Perth”; and the inevitable sell-out to a multinational media conglomerate, which will enable you to buy the TWOP headquarters you’ve always dreamed of. In the meantime, to echo Golden1, keep up the good work!

It’s hardly surprising that TWoP is developing a devoted following. There’s a hell of a lot of genuinely sentient uman beans in Woz who cry tears of anger and frustration at the actions of the grand mass of philistines who constitute the larger proportion of the populus.
Commercial entities such as the Oz and Woz newspapers (I use the term loosely in place of what might otherwise be deemed somewhat libelous) cannot give air to honest public opinion for fear of some kind of “advertiser withdrawal” as, from the sponsors viewpoint, the purpose of a “newspaper” is to mould opinion not hear it.
This delightfully open blog presents a small, but significant, opportunity for those with a bit of wit and awareness to have a lighthearted dig at the entrenched mental myopia which inflicts our society.
Soon 100,000 will seem like a drop in the ocean and if the usual brevity of the posts degenerates into verbose diatribes like this one, you’ll soon need to upgrade your web service!
Thankyou LA for a job being well done.

Congrats on the attention
Scaffidi comes across as very shallow in that piece.
A former air hostess and trophy wife of a dodgy developer who refers to her mayoral chain as “the bling”?
she’s a walking metapor for the very worst of Perth

I see that a study by the Economist rates Perth as the fifth best city to live in in the World
the top ten are:
Vancouver
Melbourne
Vienna
Geneva
Perth
Adelaide
Sydney
Zurich
Toronto
Calgary
I expect this to prompt vicious argument on this site as to how Melbourne got up there. Clearly climate and a good football team were not factors.
It is only by the relentless hectoring of TWOP that Perth will improve, climb the ladder, and knock off those smug Canadians.
The bottom of the list; the worst places to live in the world; were Algiers, Port Moresby, and Gosnells.

I always think of Scaffidi as “Julie Bishop Lite”
I don’t know if you remember the ABC drama “Grass Roots”. There was a character called Biddy who was a dead ringer parody of Scaffidi:
I quote from the show’s website:
“Biddy is an ambitious councillor with attitude, who’s capable of such charm that you could almost miss seeing how ruthless she is. A young, beautiful, private girl’s school graduate and trophy second wife of a successful businessman, Biddy wants to be Mayor as a first step on the political ladder. She hopes this role will take her well up into federal politics, and certainly knows how to play hardball”

Why does Vikki Laurie need to be taken on a two hour tour of Perth when she lives here ?
No mention of Perth Airport ( naturally enough since it wasn’t involved). Lisa “there is no conflict of interest” Scaffidi is in the long line of property developers taking over councils. That Lannie McT would be cozying up to her is hardly surprising.
For Scaffidi’s previous employer see

The other characters that make up this sorry tale :
Rob “There’s one 44-storey development and people have bought whole floors for $6 million each,!” Butler
Alan ” look across at the city and count the cranes” Carpenter
Ruth “we’ve taken their bragging rights away” Durack
They all snorted excitedly and headed for the trough.
