Western Australia - Colin Barnett

The Mines' capital of the world wants to meet with the factory of the world. Premier of Western Australia, Colin Barnett, representative of the raw material capital of the world wants a stronger link with the Factory of the World. The Companies of the West & the world buys from the Factory who gets a substantial share of it's raw material from Western Australia.

Colin Barnett, Premier of the State that plays a crucial part in this production supply chain has a vision not necessary for Australia but definitely wants to make his mark and difference in and for WA.

After Barnaby Joyce of Queensland, Colin Barnett will be the next visionary and entrepreneurial premier.

West Australian Premier Colin Barnett's bold claim on Friday that his state was looking "over the horizon" past Canberra to forge stronger links with China capped off a few weeks of strong rhetoric from our politicians on relations with our biggest trading partner.

Barnett's comments should be viewed in the context of his state's running battle with the federal government over mining tax royalties, but they nonetheless highlighted the complex and multi-tiered way that Australian governments and businesses engage with China.
