And they lost out and were always going to lose out, so much for higher intelligence!
Got any links about it being definitely canned? I know it wasn't meant to be started for another 5-10 years if it's going ahead.

I think you're on the money there.
No money set aside for it in the budget, was there?
It was a target for the royalties for regions funding arrangement as well.
That's because all of those things only benefit a minority of people. Which is pretty much like every government decision. So when you have something that only 30 or 40% (or less) of people will use, the rest of the population, even though they shouldn't care, are automatically against it. It's the WA mentality.
I had a chat today with a girl at work about how the airport is a joke and how it needs improvement. She said she never travels, and that she'd be opposed to any money spent on it. I asked why she'd care, and her reply was that it's money that could be spent on her. FFS.....
That's the average West Australian folks, and why very very few major projects get off the ground, and those that do require a lot of guts from pollies to get it finished. Unfortunately, guts is not a characteristic our pollies tend to have.

It'll be a cold, cold day in hell before that happens.
The old "backward" chestnut.. everyone else does it so it must be the right thing. Ever lived here?
I'm just grateful that the majority of west australians showed some common sence and voted NO to daylight savings. one thing i did notice through out the YES campaign was how the YES voters kept bullying the NO voters into voting YES. A typical example of that was Howard Sattler from 6pr. The way he bullied his callers that was voting NO was pathetic and the man should be ashamed of himself.
Got to love that exasperated sigh when someone has a different viewpoint.
It wouldn't surprise me if the people who didn't care voted no, not to be anti, but to annoy these idiots who have been in our faces.
I had a theory that many people said they were voting yes due to the out and out bullying and that need to conform and not be seen as an "idiot", but once they were in the privacy of the ballot box it was a different story.
On Facebook where there's 13000 yes voters, people are saying stuff like "but everyone I know said the were voting yes, it must be rigged". Um, no it wasn't.
The only bullying I had was from other environmentalists annoyed I wasn't voting no.

He wouldn't know the meaning of the word ASHAMED. Just a self righteous talking head and for an ex military man you'd expect better.
He's a sad man, who turns the notion that no voters are the bitter twisted wowser.
****ing backward minded ***** in this ****ing shithole of a ****ing state. Any ****er who voted no can go suck a bull's ****!
Exhibit A.
We may have lost the referendum, but we were moral victors. 
The no campaign was infiltrated by muslim terrorist flag burning arts students, if Sattler is onto it.
Hmmmm... why didn't I vote no...

No but the posters on a Western Australian developement site seem to form that opinion.
SA & WA are one in the same.
Except you export billions of dollars worth of minerals
That's pretty much spot on. The only difference is that WA has more money, so more tends to get done. But the attitude of the people is pretty much the same. Always looking for an excuse not to do things.
I actually know a couple of farmers who voted Yes....
I'm just happy there's another reason for Mantis never to ever come back to WA.
I don't know, but they voted "YES" on the DLS referendum in Fremantle...
Had to laugh this morning, there's a letter in the West from someone whinging about the Mandurah rail line!
Well seeing as DLS falls mostly during summer and therefore holidays and no homework...
