This day tonite host Monica Kos   gave a shocking display   in the Perth Town Hall on daylight saving ,she was  like a  new teacher in a  first grade  class.

Having  pupils  like  McDonald and  Sattler  must  have been nerve wrecking  ,

She looked like she had  drunk a bottle of sweet  sheery  before the  show  it was a circus without  Jerry lewis.

The whole thing was a mess  no one was given a chance to put their views forward everyone  trying to talk at once  while Monica could only  give a cheesy grin .

not hard to see why the  NO vote is big.

I think she needs to go and have a  fresher  course to  up her  skills.

Exactly.  Kos is used to sitting in front of a camera with an auto-cue and has no experience in moderating a rowdy crowd like that and the producers obviously did not lay down any ground rules.  The second half was so heavily edited it just showed replies without showing what led into that reply.  Even Nathan from Nova.   F***.  He had no rational arguments at all and was just there to fire things up.  We wonder why there is little live television in Perth apart from the news and the current affair shows after them.  I can just see 7 covering the voting and showing what leafy suburbs voted yes and where most of the no voters live

Monika Kos is capable in her job and runs rings round the likes of Tina Altieri as a presenter but clearly she’s no debate moderator. But let’s not put all the blame on her. The buck stops with the boss - Mario D’Orazio. 

How can someone with no journalistic instinct or skill - and that was evident in allowing that nightmare to go to air - rise to such a position?!

No doubt he’s responsible for what could be half an hour of sharp, quality, Perth-focused current affairs turning into a nightly mish-mash of advertorial claptrap peddling any sort of snake oil from “miracle” weight loss to “miracle” makeup, mixed with dodgy tradesman doorstops and tips on squeezing melons at Coles.

Time 7 hired some journalists capable of producing and reporting news, not a moving picture version of Womens Daze.

The No’s have it.  Hopefully we will never here about it again for another 15 years when someone decides we need it again.  By then the Yes voters in their twenties will have married and have kids and a career and their preference will have changed or they will have moved out of WA and gone to the Eastern States.  What a waste of $9m in the middle of a recession.  That could have fed a lot of homeless people, saved struggling businessess and therefore jobs.  The business  community has a lot more to worry about than a three hour time difference with the Eastern States.   All of you yes voters are welcome to put your clocks forward still and pretend you still have DLS.  Just think.  You will get to work an hour earlier…..

Perth is never going to get anywhere and all the progressive people will move to the East leaving WA, with all the hicks and losers.  Perth will never be a modern city if it can’t embrace change, it has so much potential and needs all the help it can get in that it’s not much of a tourist destination for those from the East.

Yes, Perth has successfully voted itself back into the Dark Ages - literally. Now all we need to attract innovative, modern, forward-thinking investors and employers is to stop their businesses trading when they want to. Oh, wait…

 Agreed about the waste of money, though. Colin should have just grown a pair and legislated for it. If we let the uneducated mob rule we’d still have hanging.

Let us remember this is not just about Perth the city it is about WA the state.  We are a large state with a large country population who have just a right to speak as much as us city folk.  I for one agree with them.  We have plenty of sunlight to play after work. I am so looking forward to one of our lovely summer mornings on proper time. I have missed them so much.  Interesting that after the 3 year trial this winning no vote was even larger than the other three.  No means No!, the majority of us have spoken.  For those of you that say you are going to move if DLS does not get in, I have one thing to say………Bye have a good trip.
