Just in case there was any doubt about who was running the show, WA Premier Mark McGowan just stamped his authority in emphatic fashion.
No one individual has enjoyed this much power in the West Australian Labor Party for a very long time, if ever.
Labor leaders in WA have long had their power curtailed by union and factional leaders, having to make do with the teams they re given by the party s caucus, save for maybe a couple of captain s calls.
