Should Western Australia be Divided into Separate States
A Fremantle Despatch article argues Western Australia is too large to be effectively governed as one. It proposes dividing the colony into five new states with Albany, Perth, Geraldton, Carnarvon, and Kalgoorlie as centers, and possibly early federal control of the north. The piece credits Mr. Angelo for raising Gascoyne concerns and urges public consideration of a state split to foster regional development and avoid neglect of northern and central areas.
