Ammonite, nasty is never the problem, but stupidity sure is, as
your post shows. But then economics is not your strong point, I
know and your posts reflect it. Perhaps better to shut up then
make an even bigger fool of yourself.

yabby you can not support a case every snide remark, [and I have never heard one] from the other Australians equals one days out put from WA.
Canberra is a poor reason.
In truth you want to keep your Lolly's to your self.
Rave on my friend see you on a less self centered thread.
I in truth still can not see why we even considered a take over of part of WA by anyone.

Hells bells, Belly,

What have you got against dear old WA...it's a great place to live. Personally, I can't see why anybody in the modern era would feel isolated living here. It's as Australian as anywhere else...maaate

Actually Belly, its the empathy I feel for the hardworking
West Australian men and women up north, who have just had all that
they have worked for destroyed by one Canberra decision. It is
not you to stand to lose everything. These people are salt of
the earth, they work, they don't stand around on union awards
or sit in offices, staring out the windows, on big salaries.

West Australia always has been an export focussed state, Canberra
simply does not understand our perspective. Nor does it seem to
care. The party machine clearly matters more then the livelyhood
of thousands.

We need people to make economic decisions about WA, who actually
understand our part of the world. They are not the Bob Browns,
let him do what he likes in Tassie.

The way that many of you in the East behave, the only thing that
you want from WA is the money. Well perhaps its time that things
changed and that WA stood up for itself.

Belly, take the time to listen to this radio interview with the
Marlee Ranacher, the daughter of Sarah Henderson of Bulla River
Station. This is what your party machine is responsible for,
out there in the real world.

Sudden decision in such a short time;
Some of these stations want removing all together. Hundreds of people every day travel through WA in pure dismay at not being able to access anything. River systems are on private land, 80 mile beach is on private land, with one access. I don,t know how anyone can control 80 miles of beach front. If you don,t book in to the caravan park at the bottom of the road, you don,t get to see the beach. All of WA outside coastal towns is just a highway drive, supplied by federal funds. The whole northern half of the state wants opening up. The traditional owners of the Kimberly have given permission for mining to go ahead. There is one access road into the northern Kimberly [still dirt] and impassable. All the people of WA see is the southern part of the state.
