OneofthelatestofficialannouncementsinthepoliticsofW.A.isthat theStateParliamentwillbeformallyopenedonTuesdaythe10thof November,andthatthePremierexpectsthesessiontobesoshortthat Parliamentwillbeproroguedbefore theChristmasholidays.Theproro- guingofParliamentatsuchatime andafterdealingasweunderstand theymeantodealwithonlywelldefinedandnoncontentiousmatters ispurelyspeculative.Thestrength oftheGovernmentaftertherecent electionsisnotsufficienttoenable ittousethe"gag"andtherule absolute.The"brutalmajority" astheLabourPartysarcastically characterisedit,hasnotcomeback totheGovernmentbenches.Their numericstrengthisverypainfully lessened,whiletheLabourPartyhas developedintoacompact,strongand vigorousopposition,whichifwecan judgeatallfromtheinnuendoesin thepoliticalorsemi-politicalspee- chesofLaborists,ispreparingfor thelong-wished-foronslaughtonthe Governmentoftheday.
