teatrea said...Not sure if its Australias premier event , $5,000 prize pool for Australias premier event is piss poor i rekon , expecially when the state is kiling it.Couldnt you get BP or Gina to sponsor the event? Just kidding , sounds like a great event.
Re "the state is killing it"........its a bit of a myth.....the state has been mismanaged re the mining boom........which is rapidly coming to an end...yes a bit of oil and gas stuff still to run..but thats about it....mining construction is in its last stages..yes some people have benefited from the mining boom (myself included) but for the majority of West Australians nothing has changed much...except increasing living costs, high rents etc .
Apologies if this is a bit political but I get tired of hearing about outsiders assuming how WA has benefited from the mining boom.
Nothing extra has happened here that one wouldn't expect from any other city in the country.
The roads north are still crap, yet mining construction traffic on them has increased ten fold, the population has increased amazingly over the last seven years but infrastructure spending remained the same.....and so on and so on.....
but hell its still an amazing place to live...I love it...
