• you've also got to remember that the way the formula works, it's backwards-looking, so the revenue spike ... was some years ago now, but they're still dealing with the consequences of that in terms of the GST allocation," he said.
  
• "In order for those big revenues to occur, for those big projects to be built, for the royalties to be delivered, the state of Western Australia has had to make massive investments in infrastructure.
• WA receives just 30 cents in the dollar, while every other state receives significantly more.
• "Any extra money is obviously appreciated, but it does not correct the gross imbalance where we are getting 30 cents in the dollar and every other state is getting 100 cents in the dollar."

Seems a good bit of the infrastructure spend was on income earning project, maybe

Don't worry too much about infrastructure in Melbourne though, buy some shares in Transurban.

So now you're admitting that WA does quite nicely out of some aspects of Federal government spending....

Care to come back to me when you're going to be consistent?

Gaming reform alliance seeks to have poker machines declared a breach of consumer law:
A leading national law firm will lodge documents in the Federal Court in Melbourne for the Alliance for Gaming Reform, a group of organisations concerned about gambling, that includes churches and councils.

The court action will coincide with a national advertising campaign, which likens poker machines to both heroin and cocaine, to generate community support.

The push has the support of long-time anti-pokies campaigner and Tasmanian federal independent MP, Andrew Wilkie.
