West Australia Secession Debate Arises Over Commonwealth Burdens
The article argues that dissatisfaction in West Australia stems from federal tariff policy and urban influence in Canberra. It contends secession would not relieve WA of Commonwealth debts and urges better local governance to reduce tensions while warning against hostility between regions. It cites Sir Henry Parkes’ unity view and calls Parliament to remove disabilities while insisting WA must manage its own affairs wiser.
