Dear Ms. Davies,
Your Ref : - The West Australian “Royalties for Regions to get major shake- up”. April 10, 2017.
It is great to read about your in in-depth knowledge of the effects of the Royalty for Regions program as delivered by you and the now defunct Brendon Grylls.
Certainly
it must be exciting to still be the Member
for the planet Central Utopia where lies become truth and financial suicide
becomes brilliant commercial decisions. Then of course you’re feeling that you
well may be Ivana Trump’s doppelganger. (She’s Trump’s first wife.)
Please let me ensure that those few erudite words you delivered to the press actually came from you, are correct, and taken in context?
The first is that the new Labor Government is ‘slashing (the Royalties for Regions program’ for projects ‘that should be funded out of general revenue.’
Maybe you were getting a facial when the news broke that because of your government’s financial gambles and fiscal failings, WA is in its worst economic state since ‘The Great Depression”.
The Iron Ore Boom ended in 2014, three years ago and general revenue plunged then. I hope it did not interfere with your pedicure appointments so you missed the Cabinet discussions about being broke?!
So what ‘Monopoly Money’ general revenue are you talking about, the $1 billion black hole, or the $43 billion deficit you left behind?
Now here is another of your significant quotes ‘Royalties for Regions was the most scrutinized spend in Government’.
Now who were the scrutineers? One was certainly the Western Australian Corruption and Crime Commission and the Auditor General, Colin Murphy, was another- trying to get his mind around a $6 billion squander.
And of course there was Brendon Grylls massive Royalties for Regions property spend in the Pilbara that has collapsed. Now the Australian Securities and Investment Commission are after the rapacious rogue Real Estate Agent, Veronica MacPherson who Grylls’ both covertly and overtly promoted her project in the region.
Former Premier Colin Barnett was sick and tired of R4R, claiming all the cherries had been picked, or was it just the low hanging fruit?
Now here comes the classic of all time that makes everyone believe you may have snorted too much Canola.
It is assumed that the following drivel includes such magnificent community ventures and much used local recreation facilities as the York Recreation and Convention Centre (YRCC) and the South Hedland Aquatic Park (SHAP) that has not been used for two summers?
Now for your Hans Christian Anderson quote of the 21st Century
“Every project required a business case to be prepared by the department responsible for the spend, assessed by the Department of Regional Development and assessed by Cabinet for approval.
Currently the Shire of York in your Electoral Planet of Central Utopia has an internal income shortfall of $2.2 million this financial year in rates and sundry debts. This will more likely get much worse, not better.
Your Central Utopia has the second highest unemployment rate in WA of nearly 8 %, but probably as high as 18% in some of the really utopian parts.
The YRCC, with much of its concept still being defended vigorously by the Shire, has caused an overall debit of $15.2 million, to service 300, but with repayments made by an entire population which has, as a couple of non-generous and generous guesses of between 2,900 to 3,400 people.
So where is the business case- by what department- and when did you give your approval. Or did you have to leave Cabinet early for you hair appointment with Maurice Meade?
No matter what- it will cost everyone in York, ratepayer or two-year-old toddler, $5,000 each to pay off the debt as it stands today with a diminishing, mainly poorly paid population to pay for it- who are just living the dream.
This does not include future maintenance; restoration and payment of loan interest and possible future capital investment that could see the debt grow to $30 million by 2035.
Effectively, there are no changes that can be made that will make it much less than a millennial millstone caused by Royalty for Regions.
So when you sit with your feet up in your Electorate Office, giving yourself a manicure, think back about what Barnett said about low hanging fruit.
Or did he actually mean Lemon, being the R4R and you?
