Fantastic to be delivering this final Libmail to you from sunny Kalgoorlie - Boulder, where I have been today for the final WA Liberals listening tour for the year As we all head towards a well-earned break over the Christmas period, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your support, encouragement and hard work throughout 2025. Since the March election, the State Liberal team has worked hard to renew, rebuild and reinvigorate the Liberal message throughout W

We have an exciting opportunity for any Party members looking to up-skill in campaigning. From 28-31 January 2026, the Liberal and National parties will host a Campaign Summer School in Canberra.   This is a four-day intensive course designed to equip the next generation of Coalition campaigners with the skills required to win competitive elections. This will include presentations by experts in their fields and is presented in partnership with the Leadership Institute.   Appl

On the morning of Wednesday, 26 November 2025, Val Klopper passed away. A stalwart member of the Rockingham branch since 1995 and a member on the east coast for many years before she moved to WA, Val really was the best amongst us. A battle-hardened campaigner and the most reliable election volunteer in our movement’s history, Val set the standard for acting out our values. People often remark that when our opponents saw Val approaching a polling place to volunteer, they woul
