    • Abstract:
      This article presents information related to Western Australia (WA). Western Australia to many is the 10% state. The West Coast Eagles have won just over 10% of AFL finals. WA accounts for about 10% of Australia's population. It contributes about 10% of Australia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In many economic statistics, the WA share is often about 10%, not really surprising given the importance of demographics to economics. In comparing the data with Australia as a whole, WA is not radically different in terms of the importance of manufacturing to the overall economy. In Australia as a whole, the contribution of manufacturing to GDP is about 11.9%.
