Since the usual suspects are promoting the same old ideas in the 20 or 30 talkfests about the future of Perth, (Jeezus, some plonker even suggested a series of monorails,) The Worst of Perth Live show on September 3rd will be devoted to putting some real solutions out there. Let’s start with sinking the whole city, from the Esplanade back to Vincent street. How about an “honour guard” of massive iron penises as the entry statement on Great Eastern Highway? The show will be about visualising the REAL Perth future. Let’s get radical and physical. I’m happy to take either ideas or visualisations for the show.

An honour guard of penises? Perhaps a touch phallicentric TLA?
I propose something that shows visitors to WA that we are a state of equality and opportunity for all. Such as an honour guard of alternating iron peni and vagi (or should that read cunts?).

We’ve gotta think big here to insert vibrancy in the dilapidated orifices of Perth . This of course means demolition. For starters
1. The biggest eyesore of all : everything on St Georges Terrace. St Georges Terrace is a monument to a deranged branch of architecture and the greedy , couldn’t give a shit aspect of the mining industry.
2. The Causeway so that Heirisson island can become a park.
3. Everything north of Duncraig replaced by national park
4. Everything south of Coogee especially Mandurah replaced by national park. People responsible for canal developments
get a suitable medieval themed punishment.
5. The Macmansion banned.
Vive la revolucion , Yee hah !

you do not respect thieves and vagabonds, so you can no longer be considered one of us. No amount of oneupmanship, or barracking for bent coppers and malpractising lawyers, can claw back our patronage.
I suggest you concentrate on creating the People’s Republic of Fremantle, and drawing up a list of those who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Cookster – were you there?
did anybody part with $495 to listen to Sabrina Hahn’s vision of a compost friendly city?
according to Chong, the best idea of the day was to let aboriginal kids do graffiti murals on the underpasses and on derelict buildings. Worth five hundred bucks of anyone’s money.
Chong thougt a good idea would be to have a semi-autonomous government agency that could work with developers in the private sector. At that point someone directed her attention to the Landcorp logo over the entrance.
Plus Alan Dodge’s idea that Perth should be a cultural hub for the Indan Ocean rim. Dodgey has been pushing that idea for at least ten years, and every year the funding for the Art Gallery gets smaller. It nows shuts on Tuesday to save on candles.

No didn’t attend. Aboroginal murals are not a bad idea, but hardly inspirational as an original idea.
One idea I would like to see councils embrace is the naming of Aboriginal country on boader signs.
You know when you travel and enter the North West, South West etc, there are signs saying ‘Welcome to …’, I reckon they also should state ‘You are entering Yamaji country, or Wongi Country, or Noongar etc etc.
Just a thought.

That would certainly liven up the long drives.

I am trying to imagine how long those signs might last before the rednecks got to them.
crazy paving footpaths with aboriginal designs on them are a nice variation on Burle Marx’s idea’s, but there is always something odd about appropriating aboriginal culture to beautify the city and then racial profiling anyone that gets on a bus.

The West did an odd thing. They buried a news story on the event on page 12, but then ran a Weekend feature in the magazine about visions for the future of Perth, and interviewed a series of people, none of whom were speakers at the Landcorp thing.
