Western+Australia+Secession+Referendum

It was 1933 when Western Australia sent a referendum to the government of England asking for Australia to become a country of its own away from the rest of Australia. Because Western Australia was a very wealthy part of Australia with all the gold in Kalgoorlie, and good land for farming crop sheep cattle etc. The government of England refused to allow the going ahead of this plan.

Since then Western Australia is still part of the commonwealth of Australia and is still a strong state in Australia with all it needs.
