WA's economy is booming.

It's the envy of the rest of Australia.

Canberra benefits from the mining boom, but Mr Howard gives less and less back to the West.

When fully operational, my WA Infrastructure Fund will see around $100 million a year into key economic infrastructure in the West.

It's vital we keep the Australian economy strong and I'm determined to see that WA gets its fair share.
