LOL - sure bring it on. Actually, if I had my way we cut a big channel along the border and cut WA off from the East Coast. Then just disown them - make them become another country. They talk about seceding anyway - let em do it. There only what 3 million odd of them - what could they do to the rest of Australia.
Oh . . . that's right they'd have the rights to more mineral wealth than you could ever imagine and they'd wind up being richer than Saudi Arabians or those from Brunei.
They give up a lot to work n live here. Already paying almost twice as much just to eat. Housing prices are a farce - rent costs even worse.
Get used to it - without Western Australia, a state awaiting to be shipped off bit by bit to Chine, India and the rest of the world Australia would be almost bust by now.
I'm a West Australian (Vic born) - proud of it as well. I have spent 75% of my life here. Used to roam around the desert looking at rocks in 40, 45+ degree of heat with my Dad looking for that next big deposit to mine(there was a few).
So . . . get off your high horse and be thankful that on GST WA only get 60% odd of GST collection back.
Must be paying someone other than a West Australians debt.
