More denial. WA being the real creators of wealth of course . When will you learn not to misrepresent fact. As for Job Seeker , that in normal times is another national disgrace.
While Job Keeper was poorly thought out.
NSW more a case of snouts at the trough which has been displayed time and time again over the decades. Not only state obviously but they do tend to stand out. It certainly doesn't begin or end with $3,0000 bottles of wine.

Lying makes you look really bad. QLD, somehow, contributes more to Australia than WA does.

Did you not check the previous info provided - WA contributes 100,003 per capita compared with NSW contribution of 76,361 per capita.

No they do not

It's rare that I'm in agreement with TT but in this case I am!

I am not interested in your twist on per captia. I am interested in raw dollars. That's the only thing that counts to the bottom line.

Where is the Chairman? He's missed his daily elevensies.

Attempting to darken credibility by stating lying, is a long over used tool in your arsenal. You obviously have no shame, but there is only so
far you can take such a stance without being called out. The brazen accusations only make you appear all the more idiotic.
I know those in position do it on a regular basis and get away with it for a somewhat longer duration. However the rest, rather quickly fall on their face.
Not a good look.

Address your folly. Or at least congratulate The Premier on a virus free day. Get away from silly name calling while at it.
It gets very tiresome.

I guess you would do whatever it takes, regardless of consequences, to stash away a few more dollars. Your ethics (look up the meaning) give out a foul odour.
There are other things in life outside of money even if such a concept is impossible for you to find comprehension. A big factor as to why the country is in such poor shape.

Have you had a drink of the eradication Koolaid? Opening people's livelihood, giving back their freedom, relieving the stress, is far more important than zero cases, even though we know the reality is its still circulating out there.

Nonsense. Per capita is the only way to distinguish between economies of different sizes - Sao Paulo has a bigger economy than Vienna. Which is the wealthier city?

And when it comes to exports - which are hugely important to a nation's balance of trade and is the biggest contributor to incoming dollars - WA contributes far more to the national economy in relation to its population size than any other state

Beoz

Northern Territory is not a state, granted, but it has a higher gross state product per capita ..... sadly though, its contributing less that 2% to the overall revenue so per capita is an irrelevant measurement.

Beoz

WOOOHOOO .... Dan has fought it all day but Tattoo Parlours are open (with a mask), yet the 25km rule remains. .... he has a new term "Dark Opening"

Amazulu

In GSP(GDP) terms sure but but for overall 'çontribution'- given exports and their impact on BOT - WA has a much bigger impact

Beoz

Exports for sure which is why the national focus hasn't given much thought to the WA borders. No mass population needing to move short distances over borders, most of the income comes from stuff going off shore.
