Theres a kids story book about a goose that lays golden eggs. I’m convinced you privatise everything folk never got that book read to you as a kid.

$150 million is chump change - that’s selling an asset that delivers a 13% return at that price that means we need less of a tax base to provide services.

This is where we differ in political theory I guess, you are correct in that people in regional areas may feel neglected, but this is where it can be rectified via means other than votes being weighted far higher in regional areas.

Well given that r4r replaced dusty dilapidated facilities that were falling down - and were often 100 or more years old.

mind blowingly dumb not to mention grossly unfair and inequitable.

WA debt, as with all debt, is a function of spending - not tax/income. So linking the two serious issues weakens the entire argument into an envy winge.

WA should just own the mines themselves. Then the likes of nickel where billions of investment are evaporating can be shared around instead of choosing only the profitable and working mine sites to make a point.
