What exactly are the plans for the reduction of the massive State debt

So far we know Asset sales are part of the Libs, plan, Wester Power and The Freo Port as well as more cuts to the public service.

But what exactly are Sneakers??

he has ruled OUT Asset sales, ruled out cuts to the public service, but ruled in a massive spend on the new rail $$3 Bill??

All he can come up with is "the increase of the iron ore price royalties" well either side would benefit from that.

I just cannot see any hope at all of cutting the debt with the ALP plan.. Not only that, but with all the public sector unions being massive donor's to the ALP campaign, they are going to want their monies worth come pay rise time.

There will be the $1.2 billion made available after the cancellation of the Roe 8 project. And to preempt the attack on that have a look at the following:

(i) there are several Federal House of Reps held by WA Liberals that would be lost if Turnbull did not pass those funds to the incoming Labor Government;
(ii) the same threat was used against the Victorian Labor Party; subsequent to the election the funds were made available to the incoming Victorian Labor Government.

You obviously don't see a problem with Emperor Barnett's financial management in losing the State's triple A credit rating during a mining boom!!!!!

Just as a matter of interest what were the levels of state debt when Emperor Barnett was sworn in and the current debt level?

Crap i have to agree with 42....

Barnett has been reckless and irresponsible with the WA economy, which in the end will have a long term impact on everyone.

the sweaty navy lawyer has already earmarked the Roe 8 funds for elsewhere and not state debt. according to him debt will be paid down when our GST reimbursement hits 65 cents in the $ AND iron ore price gets to $85 a tonne...once that happens they'll use 50% of extra revenue on debt...now I ask you...when is that ever going to happen?

Mcbob good thing I am sitting down!!!!!

Another reason why Emperor Barnett should be kicked out is in his attempts to explain his decision to preference One Nation. It was HIS DECISION and HIS DECISION ALONE to do the deal with One Nation. On that basis you would think you would take some interest in the One Nation's platform and policies. Would you think that it would be prudent to see if One Nation supports your proposal to sell off Western Power? Apparently Emperor Barnett didn't think that it was necessary.

Dont think he is looking too hard at policy when going for the preferences. He is in survival mode.

Still voting ON though

BC Turnbull WILL hand over the funds from the cancelled Roe 8 project. If he fails to pass over the funds then he will lose Swan and Hasluck to start with at the next Federal election.

Mcbob the reality is that in the Legislative Assembly election it will come down to whether you put Labor candidate in front or behind the Liberal candidate.

I didn't say he wouldn't $wan....I made the point that sneakers has already committed Roe 8 funds to other things and not state debt...his only policy around paying down debt is the ridiculous formula I pointed out previously

Did I assert that you had said they wouldn't?
