The Upstream Principle Walker Briefing

My new series, The Available Remedies, starts with a single question: before we talk about what to do, where in the causal chain are we actually intervening?

Read the first piece.

Fix the symptom and they'd return in six weeks. Find what was causing it and they might not need to come back at all. That lesson took years to really sink in.

It applies to politics too.

🔍 Some patients kept coming back with the same problem.

Not because they weren't getting good care. Because no one had found the source yet.

What the Patient Decides Walker Briefing

The answer does not belong to the analyst. It belongs to the patient.

A diagnosis, however sound, is not a destination. It is a threshold.

I have spent five articles establishing what is structurally wrong with Australia's deliberative capacity. This final piece asks the harder question - what happens next, and who decides.

Complete victory. Capitulation writ large. TACO has shown the Iranians how to wage war.

Servos in holiday hotspots empty as WA fuel crisis deepens Of the service stations running dry, several are in holiday hotspots in the South West and Great Southern, adding further pain for those looking to fill up during the Easter school break.

I have raised this in Parliament. I have been told to wait. At what point does “wait” become a policy?

🌿 The South West is running out of fuel this Easter weekend.

The same South West where WA farmers are growing industrial hemp. A crop that can be converted into #BIOFUEL. On the same roads where people are now queueing for what’s left.

Yes but why is trump sending you his picture?

That’s absolutely fine. You do you. Just not on my page.

Nevyn, what makes you think I asked you to trust me? You can, however, if you are interested in, read more of my stance on politicians and politics on my substack. IF you are interested.

Medical professional here. All I can say is that the announcement has every appearance of being beautiful clouds in a magical sunset. On a daily basis I am confronted by those in a tsunami of mental health system failures and not an iota of systemic support on the horizon.

WA has the resources for hemp innovation - we just need the will to act before the devil knows we're dead. #wapol #auspol #hemp

The Recovery of Judgement Walker Briefing

Australia is the patient. The diagnosis is in. What happens now depends not on whether we understand what's wrong - but whether we're prepared to act on it. My latest Walker Briefing: bfwalker.substack.com/p/the-recovery-of-judgem... #wapol #sovereignty

Twelve minutes of international evidence, 4,000+ peer-reviewed studies, and one simple question - why are we still criminalising something most Australians already accept?

In Parliament last week, I tabled a bill to allow adults to possess small quantities for personal use and grow up to six plants at home.

78% of Australians support decriminalising cannabis. The popular vote for reform nearly doubled between elections. And yet the law hasn't meaningfully changed since 1981.

Coming to a Conclusion Walker Briefing

Analysis is only valuable if it leads somewhere. I have spent months building the case for strategic reassessment - now it is time to talk about what we actually do. The final piece in this series arrives Monday.

WA Parliament's $40 Billion Blind Spot Hemp is one of the fastest-growing agricultural sectors on earth. Ireland, Canada, and the US are racing to capture it. Western Australia has barely started ...

🌿 Every other country is racing to capture the #hemp market. WA’s Innovation Minister couldn’t name a single initiative. This is a $40 billion global industry. We asked three direct questions. Watch what happened.
