After touching down in Western Australia (WA), Prime Minister Scott Morrison has made quick work of unveiling a $74 million (US$54 million) federal boost towards the development of key projects in the state’s capital, Perth.

It brings the total Perth deal to $1.69 billion (US$1.24 billion), including a new university campus in the heart of the city, a new bridge over the Swan River, and several upgrades to cultural locations across the city.
