Mmmm - I thought that WA's mining royalties were taken into account when they were given Federal Government funding - i.e. they received less from the Feds because of all the loot from the mines??? If that is the case, then it will be interesting to see the Labor and Lib responses to Brendon Grylls' 'demands' .....

Some of the royalties are federal anyway.
Grylls' demands are for the benefit of all regional areas, including farming communities as well as mining spots.
He has a good point. There has been precious little put back into these regional communities.
Some of them resemble nothing better than shanty towns despite the 'wealth' that they generate.
There are not enough votes in these places to count, hence the govt. leaders and decisions makers who reside in the city don't give a toss for their welfare or sustainability.
Kudos to Brendan for sticking to his guns and demanding more for the 'rest' of WA

i read somewhere that data entry mistakes might mean labour could win
what a very "union" kind of idea...
Lynn, apart from benifits into the regional areas the nationals supported the Liberals to form government because it would give them the balance of power in both houses of the WA Parliament.
also sounds like Grylls was threatened form the fed nationals that to side with labor would be treason. it didn't sound feasible anyway.
so... if you own uranium stocks happy days! they are saying that the libs can afford Grylls demands from the royalties that will flow from uranium mining. Now only if this country were smart enough to value add to the digging of the dirt we could be on a winner. By powering the globe we could pay our way in this world. Dont worry, will never happen.
saw a documentary about the making of the A380. the president of airbus was unashamed in saying the whole project was about money, reckons the eventual market could be USD $480 billion... makes our resources 'boom' like like a kids sand pit. oh well, as long as I have my 4x2 on 600sqm and a ute she'll be right

Thanks, guys, for that - can't believe how little of that info is filtering through to the eastern states! Would you believe that the Ch9 news tonight did not even mention the WA election result/decision at all???
Seems that there are going to be some interesting times ahead politically in the coming months/years.

Same here.
the election result is trying to be downplayed - it's very clear when even The Australian doesn't even mention it.
unsure as to why though - but they both look like smug lil' ba5tard5 now...
