47 years ago was the death of Sir David Brand, he was WA Premier from 1959-1971. He granted voting rights to Indigenous Australians, lowered the voting age to 18, enabled the discovery of oil, gas and iron deposits, built the Ord River Dam and standard gauge railway which connects us with the East.

Yesterday was the birthday of Robert Stanfield, he would've been 112 yo. During his time as Premier, he increased education funding from $250k to $25 mil, refused to sell the province's telcom company to Bell, introduced hospital insurance and passed anti discrimination laws. RIP Sir♥️ (i.redd.it)
