sounds like a WA problem - the feds have kicked in their fifty percent.

Queensland has a much bigger population than wa and the pacific and Bruce highways are Used a lot for freight - they are also extremely dangerous there are fatalities on both all of the time. Not to split hairs but I think gateway is 1 billion and Swan bypas is 840 million

isnt there more than four lines now the train runs to Mandurah and thornlie?

Perth has great infrastructure compared to everywhere else for its size - people in Perth dont realise how good theyve got it!

keep them coming! having said that, consider that the M4, M2, M7, Lane Cove Tunnel, Cross City Tunnel and Eastern Distributor are all toll roads. The only major federally funded work going on at the moment is the Pac Hwy (thankfully) which benefits people in NSW and Queensland and supposedly...

Even if they haven't bought they're probably renting somebody's investment property. If there is no work here, yes, they will go home because they can't stay here if they can't find another sponsor and nobody is going to sponsor them if they don't need them!
