Shorten can promise a billion in Perth and get away with it because the locals are so used to Barnett.

Federal Labor are excellent financial managers compared to the WA Libs.

When the Barnett Government came to office in 2008, state debt stood at $3.6 billion. By their own forecasts it will be $39 billion in 3 years time.

The days of the Liberals being considered the better economic managers are long gone.
