The thing is, though, is that threat was during federation, not during the secession movement of the 30's. Out of the sixty electoral divisions, only five voted against it, and while they were in the mining areas, they were still a minority of those mining areas. This could lead to a smaller WA, but the bulk of the goldfields and the Pilbara would have stayed with them.

Wasn't it six of fifty? I'm having trouble finding a reliable source to confirm the exact results. I'd like to know the size and location of the electoral districts which voted against it for interests sake. Point well-taken either way.
