‘Kinder, sweeter’: McGowan gloats about WA’s ‘gentle’ media while fronting business leaders

Former premier Mark McGowan has hailed Western Australia’s “kinder, sweeter and gentler” media landscape among its key benefits while addressing business leaders at a summit in Perth.

But he reserved special praise for the state’s diminished media landscape, which he claimed was “less ugly” than its eastern states counterparts. Text messages unearthed during the Palmer defamation trial exposed the strength of the relationship, with Stokes and McGowan joking about the “marvellous” front pages.

The 57-year-old supported the idea of having a portfolio dedicated to overseeing co-operatives and drew on his experience guiding WA through the pandemic when advising businesses on how to navigate a crisis. “You really can’t go anywhere without someone taking a photo or saying something to you, and by the end you get a bit punch-drunk by it.“I think hits people who leave politics or business when they don’t want to, but I didn’t suffer from it because I’d done everything I wanted to do.
