#411 - Secession: No Income Tax? Could Western Australia be Its Own Nation?
Description
What if Western Australia became its own country? In this episode, Branchy is joined by economist Professor Gigi Foster and former barrister Julian Gillespie, authors of Secession by Western Australia. Together they propose the bold idea of WA leaving the Australian federation and becoming an independent nation.
The proposal includes abolishing income tax, funding government through royalties on WA’s vast natural resources, and creating a sovereign wealth fund similar to Norway’s to secure long-term prosperity. The conversation also dives into government transparency, health system reform, and returning decision-making power to the people.
Is this a realistic pathway… or just a radical idea designed to challenge the system we’ve all accepted? Regardless this is a conversation that will make you question how our country is run.
