The state is set to record a $4.2 billion surplus this year – a figure that rivals the federal surplus but falls short of the even bigger purses of $5.7 billion and $5.6 billion recorded in the years before. WA has enjoyed huge budget surpluses throughout Mr McGowan's second term off the back of iron ore royalties and GST payments. ![]() "The COVID experience, basically three years … having to deal with all that, and all the pressure that was associated with that, that drained me a lot," he said.
