Editorial: Be grateful, and enjoy our great State
As West Australians, we have a lot to be thankful for. Not just for our beautiful beaches, or for our breathtaking natural wonders, or for our vast natural resources that make our economy the envy of the world. In celebration of WA Day, we asked some of WA's most recognisable Sandgropers what they loved most about this great State. The common thread? The people. 'We can almost pick each other out of a crowd,' famous Bunbury export Natalie Barr said. 'There's something about West Australians. 'We tell it like it is. We own what we say. And I reckon that's because we know deep down that we come from the best place on Earth.' In fact, Governor Chris Dawson said it was the people of WA that was its 'greatest treasure'. 'It is those people, and the over 3 million like them, which make this State not just a large space on a map. But a place we are all proud to call home,' he said. Premier Roger Cook reckons 'we're a friendly, welcoming bunch'. 'Maybe it's our isolation, or maybe it's just the WA way, but our sense of community is second to none,' he said. Meanwhile, Acting Perth Lord Mayor Bruce Reynolds lauded the West Aussie spirit of 'backing the underdog', 'believing in a fair go' and 'having a crack'. 'This State has a wildness to it, a vastness but also a warmth. A community spirit that's generous, honest, and quietly proud,' he said. Speaking of proud, WA has been home to some of the world's most important medical breakthroughs, famous musicians and actors and athletes that have gone on to win gold at the Olympics. Some, like American actress Kate Walsh, have swapped the lights of Hollywood for the glorious beaches of Perth, which she has made her adopted home. 'I love the diversity of WA, both geographically and culturally,' Walsh tells us. 'I have never seen a place like Margaret River or Denmark or the Kimberley, or the simple beauty of the moonrise over the Perth river, and how the light makes everyone look pink and beautiful when they have a sunset swim in April.' And faced with uncertain times, and turmoil in parts of the globe, we reflect on how lucky we are to live here, to be able to bring our families up safely without the fear of war or violence. Where there is access to world-class health care, education, and jobs, with our resources industry pumping billions of dollars into the country's economy every year. It's in recognition of that role in the nation's economic growth that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will bring his Cabinet to Perth on Tuesday. Today, thousands of West Australians, from Karratha in the north, to Albany in the south and Geraldton in between, will gather to celebrate our State and recognise its history. Wherever you are, and whatever you choose to do to, Happy WA Day.

Natalie Barr, 57, reveals the secret to her flawless line-free visage: 'I've been using it for years'
Natalie Barr has revealed the secret to maintaining her flawless-looking skin. The Sunrise host, 57, took to Instagram on Wednesday to give fans an insight into her beauty regimen. In the jealously inducing clip, Natalie flaunted her flawless, make-up free face revealing that she had just woken up from a nap. Admitting her hair looked 'terrible' she kept her locks contained under a 'Wackadoo' hat from Bluey's World, gifted to Nat by co-host Matt Shirvington. 'The most asked question we get is, "What time do you get up?"' Natalie began the clip. 'Then, for women, it's, "What make-up do you use?"' Natalie then revealed the must-haves in her make-up bag admitting that she had been using the products for decades. 'So, I just purchased a whole bunch of my favourite skincare. I've been using it since I was in the mother's group with the founder, many, many years ago,' she said. Natalie then revealed go-to was Aussie brand Dermaviduals, who sent the presenter a gift pack. In fact, the company's foundation is the cornerstone of Natalie's on-air visage. 'It's a really clean, beautiful brand and really simple - even the packaging is really simple,' she said. 'Channel seven purchases their foundation and I use the foundation on air.' She then revealed the first item in her gift pack - a nourishing cleansing milk that retails for approximately $86 for 150ml Her next item was a $45 fleece facemask which Natalie admitted she was eager to sample. It's not the first time Natalie has taken to social media to spruik her favorite products. Back in January, she sent a budget K-Mart utensil viral after raving about it on Instagram. She posted a clip to Instagram on Thursday in which she was seen using the department store's $20 Multi Grater & Dicer. She put both an onion and a carrot into the dicer and was delighted at how quickly the utensil chopped them into tiny pieces. 'I just tried it today, chop, chop! Why didn't I buy one of these before? How much time it's saving!' Natalie began. 'There's a bigger grater for carrots. Look at that, this is amazing. I love this thing, genius.' Natalie later revealed she was receiving many messages from fans asking for details about the dicer, which she happily provided. 'Being swamped with questions on the chopper. I ordered online from Kmart, pretty sure this is it - $20 Multi Dicer and Grater,' Nat told her followers. 'Will let you know how long my late night $20 buy from Kmart lasts.' Natalie's beauty revelations come after she recently flaunted her incredible figure, plunging into an ice bath on air. The presenter and her co-host Matt Shirvington were chatting to Australian boxer Harry Garside about using the bath for muscle recovery. Natalie then stripped into a black swimsuit as she agreed to jump into an ice bath with the sports star. After getting into the ice bath, Natalie joked that the feeling was so uncomfortable she felt like she was going into childbirth. She continued to breath loudly before admitting: 'I hate this.' After getting out of the bath, Natalie explained 'it was really cold on the legs and really hurts the legs' before asking Harry how he felt. 'I feel it in my feet and calves the most. I think because it's the furthest thing from the heart so the blood circulation isn't getting there,' he said.

BREAKING NEWS Peter Dutton gets a reality check as Nat Barr hits him with a blunt question: 'Does some of that hurt?'
Sunrise host Natalie Barr has confronted Liberal leader Peter Dutton over new polling that shows 45 per cent of voters are not voting the Coalition because of his personality. Mr Dutton accused the Labor government of running a scare campaign that falsely claimed he would cut Medicare and that his nuclear power plan would cost $600b. 'If you throw mud in the game and put $20million behind it, then it has an impact,' he said. In relation to the nuclear figure it's a complete fabrication. 'I am a truthful, Independence person I have always said during the course of this campaign and the course of my career that I will stand up for what I beleive in. 'Sometimes you can make some people unhappy, but I truly believe that crime and law and order is a serious issue and I want to do more to keep our country safe and help families who are really struggling at the moment. He pointed to a proposed 25-cent-per-litre fuel tax cut and a $1,200 tax return as key Coalition policies aimed at easing cost-of-living pressures. 'That is what the election will be contested on, not the personalities and mud being thrown by Labor,' Mr Dutton said. But Barr disagreed. 'It sounds like it will be contested on personality when you have nearly half the electorate in these surveys saying it is your personalities. Does some of that hurt?' Dutton remained defiant, pointing out that polling ahead of the 2019 election had predicted a Labor victory - but it was ultimately won by Scott Morrison and the Liberals. 'Australians are hurting. That is the reality. People are going backwards and we've what a household recession for nearly two years for families. 'The question is how can we help people and are people better off after three years of this governmnent. I don't believe they are.'
