Well done to former Cardie Basil Zempilas on winning the election and becoming our new Lord Mayor.
Doesnt seem that long ago he was kicking goals for WPFC.
His first step towards a career in state or federal politics.
Good luck to him, the previous corrupt LM didn’t set the bar very high.
He was a bit of a drip years ago, but has developed in his career and personal presentation. He doesn’t have big shoes to fill, but good luck to him.
Lets hope the West Perth FC haven’t rubbed off on him too much with their recent reputation.
Agree DD, you wouldn’t want the WP treasurer anywhere near the PCC coffers. I heard a rumour he’s talking to the accounts people at Subi FC, now that is a step in the right direction B)
I think they were already doing that under the previous Mare I mean Mayor SS & DD!

yep LS should never have been there from day 1, her shonk family deals around town should of seen to that.
He is still the number 1 ticket holder at WP as well… good luck to the guy, he has achieved a lot in his life and should be proud.
Credit to the guy for putting his hat in the ring. Many have a winge about whats happening at the PCC but he has the drive to have a go and hopefully make a difference.
Well done basil, one week in the job and you have effectively alienated one group in the community, great stuff!
The fact that he is being ostracized for what he said is further proof that the world has gone mad.
So it is ok by you to make comments which a fair proportion of the community find offensive not just the binary folk.
Zempilas is a cocky smart arse, one of his great strengths is also his biggest weakness, his confidence. Heard him yesterday morning say “I know what it’s like to win an election”. I’m sure Di Bain wish she got the extra few hundred votes she fell short by to knock him off his lofty perch.
Gone to his head already. Typical WP man, they think they can get away with anything and as has been proven time and time again, they do. I see they are also rolling out the red carpet for a convicted wife and mother basher. Classy stuff.
No one i know would be offended by those comments and its a fair stretch to say the general community would be,but the P.C. brigade would tell you otherwise.
What did he say? I don’t listen to that station.
I would like to but there are some very sensitive people on the OZ footy forum so i might give that one a miss.
No worries mate I googled it…FFS
Cheers anyway!
He stated the bleedin’ obvious but in this current climate of extremist PC it was ill advised by a public figure. The “special interest” groups are pursuing him ruthlessly for what was a silly mistake but not a hanging offence. They wont be satisfied until any form of free speech or opinion not matching their own is wiped out. Sadly Basil’s embryonic political career may be over before it began. It’s a bloody joke.
I’ll be buggered if I can see anything wrong with what he said. All he did was state the bleeding obvious. I’m starting to feel like the Poms years ago when they said, they knew about it, then they tolerated it, then made it legal, so time to leave before they make it compulsory.
They’re really going after big Snozzle,they want him to step down and threatening to relocate the annual Mardi Gras…oh deary me!
