| A bid to extend shopping hours in Perth has failed after Labor this morning decided to oppose the Retail Trading Hours Amendment Bill.
The legislation cannot now pass through the Legislative Assembly as the Liberals coalition partner in Government, the Nationals, also opposes it.
Premier Colin Barnett slammed the decision, saying Perth was building several iconic developments - such as the Northbridge Link, Perth Arena and the waterfront redevelopment - "and you are going to have a big sign - 'closed'."
