  From sports broadcasters entering the political fray to tiny beetles destroying the city's urban tree canopy, we look back at the stories that had us laughing, cringing - and scratching our heads.

The article from WAtoday discusses several key political and environmental issues in Western Australia for the year 2024. It highlights the ongoing problem with the polyphagous shot-hole borer, an invasive beetle threatening Perth's trees, which has led to significant tree removal efforts. Additionally, it covers the political landscape, focusing on the contentious issue of the Metronet project, particularly the Ellenbrook line, which has seen delays and cost overruns, becoming a point of contention between the state government and opposition. The article also touches on the business community's reactions to these developments, with a local businessman expressing frustration over the project's impact on his operations. Lastly, it mentions the broader implications of these issues on the state's infrastructure and environmental policies, reflecting the complex interplay between development, conservation, and political accountability in Western Australia.
