Two for tourismGood news from Tourism Western Australia with the appointment of two new executive directors to boost the State’s tourism and events profile.
From an outstanding field of highly talented applicants, who better to select for the roles than the perfectly named management professionals Gwyn Dolphin and Simon Burley?
If nothing else, Tourism WA will be in the box seat should it sharpen its focus on water-based activities.
Lights, camera...
Still in WA, this weeks’ Headline Of the Week Leadership Award (HOWLA) goes to the State’s Department of Culture and Arts for its announcement that local films had scooped up three gongs in the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Awards (AACTA).
The Department won the HOWLA with the catchy headline on its announcement: WA films a hard AACTA to follow.
Delightful!

Legally speaking
And now to law enforcers seemingly behaving badly.
First, to Queensland where the appearance of firearms in the community has prompted the Queensland Police Service to announce it intends taking direct action.
“QPS to Create Illegal Firearms Squad” an official statement was headed.
“Why not create a legal one” was the first thing that ran through the steel-trap minds of the PS News news team.
Next to NSW where the Chair of the State’s Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal (CTTT) Kay Ransome has launched a terrific new social media initiative to explain just how the Tribunal works.
The same steel-trap minds swooped on the irony of a Ms Ransome chairing an organisation upholding the law.
“What if a ransom case was to come before Ms Ransome?” one mischief-maker wondered.
“What if young journalists just did their work and stopped playing silly buggers?” his editor wondered.

From the wit and wisdom of an office worker of long-standing comes this small slice of reality:
“If a bus station is where a bus stops.
“And a train station is where a train stops.
“Why do they call my desk a ‘work station’?”

And finally, back to WA to report with great pleasure that the Western Australian edition of PS News has tripped past the 5,000 subscriber milestone to reach 5,017 on its way to goodness knows how many.
Nationally the total subscriber list is just a few hundred short of 80,000 so our very humble thanks go to every reader who comes to visit and makes the challenging task of scrounging around for news and then presenting it in the pages of PS News such a worthwhile and appreciated task.
You’ve given us so much confidence we’ll come back again and do it for at least one more week, next week.
Till then...
