How is correct when the hospital system in WA is ramping ambulances on a regular basis? Sounds like he has the whole state under prepared.
Hospitals are an issue, and have been for quite some time. Wa hasn't really caught up with the mining boom of the 2000's.
When the mining boom was really cranking, 1,500 people were coming to Wa every week.
The Gallop/Carpenter Labor Government fully funded the the Fiona Stanley Hospital, lost an election, the Barnett Liberal government continued on with it's construction.
Barnett only won power with help of the Wa Nationals who bent Barnett over. Twenty Five % of all royalty payments to the state was set aside for reinvestment into regional WA.
Wa state government spending was redirected from major population centres like Perth to regional towns. Those little towns got new pools and the like, and there were a lot of new shire offices.
If those 1.500 people who were coming to Wa every week were living in the regional areas the royalties for regions would've been more justified and utilised a lot better.
The Royalties for regions were good for the regions.
With 25% of all royalty payments being snipped from projects in Perth and the like the royalties for regions was not so good for Perth.
I say good luck to the regional towns and centres, they deserved a lick of the ice-cream, but Perth suffered because of it.
I'm sorry this should probably be in the political thread, but I was just answering a question.
