We’re back in Parliament this week, and the WA Liberal State Team has been working hard to keep the Cook Labor Government to account. We’ve been focusing on the essentials – Health, Housing, and Household stress. In between the horror story of the mother who had to give birth on the side of the Kwinana Freeway after presenting at Midland Hospital and being told they had no available beds, the chronic housing crisis and the scores of undeveloped land the Government has dragged

The Liberals WA Listening Tour has hit the ground running for 2026, this time in beautiful Esperance! Together with Steve Martin MLC and local member Peter Rundle MLA, we met with local businesses, community and agri-business groups, local Government, as well as the Esperance Liberal Branch. A common theme we heard from locals is that they feel ignored by WA Labor, and that was especially true at Esperance Senior High School. With the most maintenance defects out of any schoo

Joondalup Citizenship Ceremony 26 January 2026 Australia day is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate the values, freedoms, and opportunities that make our country so great. It’s also a day that reminds us that Australia is a nation built by people from all over the world, and it was a particular honour to welcome some of our newest citizens at the City of Joondalup’s 2026 Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony. You can read my remarks from the ceremony below, or watch it her

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

Last week’s official close of this year’s Parliamentary sitting was an important moment to put on the record just how badly Roger Cook’s Labor Government has let West Australians down in the first nine months of its third term. Everywhere I go, I hear the same question - in a State as wealthy as Western Australia, how can our hospitals be in such a state of disrepair and delay? Why is it so hard for young people to find a secure home? Why is violent crime on the rise? Why are

Ever since Roger Cook and Rita Saffioti posed in a V8 Supercar to launch the Burswood racetrack in January, this project has stood as the clearest symbol yet of this Labor Government’s wrong priorities. Despite being the wealthiest state in the nation, Western Australia is now the least affordable place to rent in the country. It takes longer to build a home here than anywhere else in Australia. We’ve seen record levels of ambulance ramping, leaving patients stranded outside

For months, the Liberal Parliamentary team has been holding the Cook Labor Government to account for failing to prioritise what we hear matters most to West Australians - housing, health and the cost of living. On my Listening Tour across the State, these issues are raised time and again, yet this Government finds $217.5 million for a racetrack at Burswood, and $100 million for a rugby team, while everyday West Australians are left behind.
