WA Premier

Colin Barnett will go down in WA history as the best premier. And possibly, of the whole Australia. Here is someone who is going to harvest WA mineral wealth for the future. At the moment, he has not announced who controls the fund. He will only be the best if he makes the board independent of politicians, that is, the state parliament cannot use the fund to balance the budget or manipulate the wealth.

He is also not going to relinquish the state tax he is imposing on miners there to the federal government. Em... eventually, the whole of Australia might have to live in Perth.
