Seems to me there is blame to share around if we're going to be fair.

The federal government obviously tried to fund too much too quickly.

The state government departments didn't administer the money all that well by the looks of it. How much warning did they have that the Feds were going to shovel all this cash out the door?

Some builders got into trouble and collapsed, leaving suppliers and subcontractors out of pocket. This has happened before, the Stat Dec. system for monhtly payments is part of a National code of practice for construction works.

But if it suits you to try and sheet all the blame solely onto the Liberal National coalition government in WA then go right ahead.
