If your commercial centre is given its death notice when Cartridge World moves in, what does it mean when Cartridge World closes? Could even a Rub ‘n Tug survive in Kalamunda”s bleak “For Lease” tundra? If you have to drive to Midland to get a cheap toner refil and a handjob, it’s hard to imagine why you’d go back up the hill. And even if there was a rub ‘n tug right there in Barfberry Square, it would be cash only and closed on Mondays. I’d like to suggest John Day was asleep at the wheel, but what wheel?

A Kalamunda r&t would close at 5. Making it impossible to tell if it was a “legitimate ” rub shop. The only way to tell if there’s a tug factor is the 11pm closing. Or a rear entry sign.

Exactly. No one’s doing an ACL at 11pm.

Although Josh Kennedy might come in with a missing foot right on closing.

Liberal seat with a 10% margin. I think the ALP will probably just field a drawing of a spider or something.

At the risk of being labeled a McGowan bum boy, Day has been a useless fuckup for years.

Sadly you seem to be right. And no mention of what he is going to do for Kalamunda. All very well stopping Roe 8. What about stopping all these Haynes street rub ‘n tugs I keep hearing about?

Seriously, it’s a bit bloody disappointing that they have given up on Kalamunda, when John Day is a tired useless fickup who has presided over his town becoming a derelict wasteland. A younger candidate who actually wants to do something for the place could heavily dent that 10%.

My mum used to swim at the pool before she gave birth to me. She said she found the waters very soothing, and they eased the huge load she was carrying.
I think we can safely say Kalamunda’s place in history is secure.

Cartridge Heights would make a good name for a Kalamunda satellite city. Watch for a desperate Day to steal my idea and take it to the election.
