It's clear the WA government is captured by the resources industry, but Brad Pettitt's seen it closer up than most. He joins The Last Place on Earth to reflect on his time as the sole Greens Parliamentarian in Western Australia's parliament.

Brad explains how mining companies exert their influence, and what entrance they use when visiting the Premier at Parliament House.

He also looks ahead to what might happen in the WA state election and how things might change if the Greens gain the balance of power in the upper house.

Plus, Gerard and Jesse debrief Premier Roger Cook's recent trip to Karratha, where he received a less than warm welcome, and contemplate what a US TikTok ban might mean for Australians.
