Provide data and links to your claims, you talk a lot of crap and never back it up. Bring some real data to the party and not your motherhood statements.
That's pretty rich coming from Post-N-Run-Mike, who never backs up any of his bullshit with facts and data.
Manufacturing employment as a percentage of workforce:
Korea: 25% Taiwan: 23% Germany: 20% Japan: 16% Botswana: 10% United States: 9% Western Australia: 7.5%
I'll let you look those figures up with Google if you want to dispute them. Looks like the knuckle draggers in Western Australia have got nowhere to go to if mining contracts. They could always buy and sell houses to each other over and over again.

How do corporations contribute to the economy other then wages or taxes. Hmm let me see, local housing they rent, construct, local suppliers and the products they purchase to sustain the work force.
Employees rent and buy houses, not corporations. If the mine closes, the dongas are packed and moved elsewhere.

Infrastructure they build does not disappear over night and lasts for decades.
Hand waving again. Give an example of infrastructure that has been built. Has the Airport been upgraded? Is there a 6 lane highway from Perth to Karratha? To use your exact words "Provide data and links to your claims, you talk a lot of crap and never back it up".

I wonder if all the local and national airlines benefit from all those FIFO workers, or the air ports.
Name a airline that is owned and operated out of WA, that has benefited from FIFO workers. I wonder if you can even do that.

The huge rise in land prices and rents in many of the regional towns, mostly benefited private investors. I can go on and on if you like.
The huge rise in land prices is a rising cost for the people of WA. It has reduced their disposable income, and put it in the bank's coffers. The banks are majority owned by shareholders in the eastern states. I bet you are a big fan of broken windows too.

I think it's time you started to try and compete in your own league, go swap stories with Moops.
Coming from an imbecile like you, I will take that as a compliment.

there's new quay in the city, new under ground train line, a new hospital, widening of the freeways, a new airport terminal. as far as airlines go there's skywest (very recently purchased by virgin), skippers, cobham just to name the 3 big ones who almost exclusively cater to fifo.
for someone that has a massive hard on for WA to fail you haven't done fuck all research.

I'm looking at this Elizabeth Quay pig iron mentioned and wondering if it will end up like Melbourne's Docklands, a ghost town, completely devoid of life, so devoid infact that they use fireworks every friday to attract people to the area.

I think Elizabeth Quay will work as it is at the foot of the city. Perth is a growing city and works like this will make the place more interesting. I think it will be ok. On rents dropping, i was told by a business person that the rents in Karratha are of $600.00 per week plus. Peter
I'm from Perth, originally, so I know where it is being built.
Docklands is a suburb built on reclaimed swamp and bay land just west of Melbourne, it has tram lines running through it, has been open for at least 10 years and there are currently something close to 2k apartments for sale and 2k apartments for rent.
There is some population, mostly because the NBN building is there, a few other businesses and the DFO, even though there's a DFO within walking distance of Crown casino, and another within walking distance of Southern Cross train station.
The restaurants are mediocre and pretty expensive.
Then there's the observation wheel, which I won't go on about, except that they didn't expect melbourne to get hot enough to buckle the supports and haven't fixed it yet.
I hope Elizabeth Quay lives up to expectations, but, when a city as large and pressured as Melbourne is having trouble filling apartments, I'm not sure if it will.

Your own statement is contradicted by your own link and by the "final demand" data which you claim to be "the only way we can tell if a state is in recession".

Mmmmm. they were $1200 per week in Karratha as I recall.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
