True. My point in the discussion has been that I think WA has a short term peak in place for economic growth. Do you agree or disagree Deltaberry? I do agree with heroine that the yields are still "ok" in Perth (not historically, but relative to other capitals), so wouldn't be surprised to...

HiEquity, that was my understanding of the MRRT. Thanks for the stats on the carbon tax. Interesting. Personally I don't buy the suggestion that a bull market in confidence has been driving the WA economy, so it's hard to envision that the federal election outcome will have much of an impact at...
