Budget letdown for regional WA
May 13, 2008, 6:54pm, 288 views, 1 Comment
Despite being the biggest state in Australia, WA has the highest concentration of people in a small area. I guess about 80 percent of the people live in a narrow coastal strip from Margaret River to Perth.
And that’s where most of the Federal Budget infrastructure funds appear to be going, according to this media statement.
The biggest single allocation is $160 million for the new Bunbury to Perth highway so city folks can get to the wineries faster on long weekends.
There’s no mention of the Esperance port or the Kalgoorlie-Esperance transport corridor.
In fairness, I’ll study the detail tomorrow and update this post if I find a bucket of money stashed away secretly to honor Labor’s election promise regarding the Esperance port.
