regional, not local.

It's not like states don't waste a lot of money or develop their own rainbow causes.

And you dont think that Sydney will get first dibs on money, resources or even, interest? State governments at least mean that their state gets action and interest. Without the state govt, TAS might as will secede and if they did, Canberra might not even notice.

How come WA gets only 33% of the GST they collect?

It's called fiscal equalisation.

Explain it?

Fiscal equalisation means taking more from richer states and giving to poor states so that each state is equally able to finance its programmes.

WA is not a wealthy state.
Did you see 4 Corners on Monday?
A house that sold a few years ago for $2.5M could not be sold even for $1.6 M

What are you? A bush economist?

WA is very wealthy because of the mining. WA was taking it in from minerals.

why? we'd be much better served abolishing the states, and having only a regional and federal govt.

We need states to be able to offer gov devices. Councils won't have enough money to provide those services.

You are just discovering what the rest of us have known for some time. Booby is not very smart. He reads something and then that is his entire view on a topic, even if the source is unreliable. He is dumb. He is ignorant and you will discover that very quickly.

whats wrong with tranfering those devices to federal or regional govts, and providing the relevant funding ?

do you have to prove your stupidity with every post?

Mining will / is bouncing back. It never stays high and it never stays low. Here's one example, and from Perth

Mining entrepreneur Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest has pocketed a $445 million dividend cheque after his company Fortescue Metals Group posted a more than 100 per cent net profit jump on the back of stronger than expected iron ore prices.

Australia's third-largest iron ore producer released its full year figures to the market this morning and reported a net profit of $US2.1 billion ($2.6 billion) — up 112 per cent on last year.

The Perth-based company also reported a 19 per cent rise in revenue after shipping 170 million tonnes of iron ore for the year.

this is just the start of the resurgence in mining. We have a few good years coming before it eventually falls again, only to repeat the cycle

Is this the same twiggy dude that wanted BHP and other iron ore producers to join in with him so they could manipulate iron ore prices and keep them artificially high ? Cheesy

You mean my 15 year prediction of NO HOUSE CRASH? Or my prediction that EVs would be a .1% market share? BTW, I am planning on replacing my FPV-GT with a big V8 Jaguar XJR-575. Not an electric motor anywhere near the wheels!
