Oh, I think the WA Nationals are a little more independently minded than you give them credit for..

Yeah, by holding the entire state over a barrel for a $700 million bribe.
Right now they're the highest-priced hookers in the land.

If the do go into coalition with Labor I can easily see a short-lived Government. I assume at any moment they have the right to turn around and form a new Government with the Libs if they don't get their way. I would hope Dr Ken would have the guts to dissolve parliament in that case - but I don't think he has the ticker.
