Secessionism in Western Australia

• Support - Distinctly West Australian, its a bit quirky and would make a nice change from bio or geo articles. The 75th anniversary of the 1933 election was just 3 weeks ago. - Moondyne 06:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
• Support - Something every Western Australian has an opinion on! (And it's more interesting than the other two topics everyone has an opinion on, daylight saving and Sunday trading.) Somno (talk) 06:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
• Support - tothersiders should know more about it SatuSuro 05:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Elizabeth Jolley

• Support - It made WA what it is SatuSuro 05:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
