I would like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to all members of the WA Liberal Party for the Christmas break and for a healthy and happy 2026. 2025 has been an incredibly busy year for our Party. As I have noted on previous occasions, although the outcomes of the State and Federal elections were not what we hoped for, that was not due to a lack of commitment or effort on the part of our membership. Although we are not scheduled to have any elections in 2026,

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.

Greg not only made a lasting impact on the WA Liberal Party, but also on the vital issue of regional road safety. For almost 20 years, Greg was a key part of the Livestock Transport Association, which spearheaded road safety campaigns throughout the 1990’s successfully advocating for safer WA roads. The legacy

Dear WA Liberal Party Member, It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as the Chairman of our Policy Committee over the past 10 years. I was first elected by State Council as an ordinary member of the Policy Committee in 2013. One of my earliest observations was the great divide between competing expectations from the organisational and parliamentary wings of our party. The consensus view within the organisational wing was and still is that the policies the parliamentar
