FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda West Australian Labor leader Mark McGowan won’t be asking Prime Minister Julia Gillard to be at his side during the next state election.
The opposition leader is gearing up for the poll to be held by March 2013.
Mr McGowan said on Thursday the focus would be state issues.
“I can stand on my own two feet, my colleagues can stand on their own two feet,” he told Sky News.
“We don’t need anyone else involved.”
A visit from Ms Gillard during the campaign would only serve as a distraction.
“We don’t want distraction from state issues; we’re just going to run on state issues, not federal issues,” he said.
“Federal involvement would be a distraction from that.”
Mr McGowan joins fellow Labor leaders Northern Territory Chief Minister Paul Henderson and Victorian opposition leader Daniel Andrews in rejecting suggestions Ms Gillard join them on the hustings.
He also said he would not rule out raising state mining royalties if elected, a move which would almost certainly anger Treasurer Wayne Swan, who has warned the mining states of WA and Queensland against such a move.
“We would not rule out that increase,” Mr McGowan said.
“It’s a state prerogative.
“We don’t just do things because the federal government wants us to do things in a certain way.”
The federal government would have to fully credit iron ore and coal producers for their royalties as part of its Minerals Resource Rent Tax (MRRT) on mining company super profits.
