Mark McGowan reignites feud with shadow defence minister
Premier Mark McGowan has rehashed a feud with the shadow defence minister Andrew Hastie after a microphone picked up the Premier’s comments on Hastie’s views on China.
Mark McGowan was caught saying Andrew Hastie had “swallowed some sort of cold war pills” when he thought the microphone was off.
WAtoday’s state political reporter Hamish Hastie told Julie-anne Sprague on 6PR Afternoons the Premier should have been more careful.
“It’s no secret that McGowan was not happy with how the former government dealt with its relationship with China… this is just an extension of that,” said Mr Hastie.
