“First we had the debacle over the Horizontal Falls and now we have the closure of Cossack because of bureaucratic failures,”

Today's press release from Housing Minister Carey?

7 new social homes. The Minister describes this as a 'boost'.

There's now 1,776 more people on the social housing waitlist than this time last year - over 35,600 people.

If the social housing waitlist is the canary in the coal mine for the accommodation crisis gripping WA, then someone in the Cook Labor Government should be looking for the gas leak.

Honoured today to be elected Deputy Leader of the WA Parliamentary Liberal Party by my colleagues.

The Liberal team under the leadership of Libby Mettam will continue to work hard every day to hold the Cook Labor Government to account.

I’m sure he put in a plug for the hard working WA livestock farmers and the live sheep trade while he had the attention of Federal Cabinet.

The first adverse opinion from the Auditor General issued to a government entity in WA history.

We still haven’t heard from Minister Jarvis, Minister Punch or Premier Cook what the plan is to get DPIRD’s financial management back on track.

The Cook Labor Government has an appalling record on housing in this state.

❌2017-21, Labor spent less on building new public housing in WA than both Tasmania and South Australia.

❌2017-23, WA still spent less than SA.

❌No wonder we have fewer social homes than in 2017.

How much time and resources have the State Government put into the management of these vast reserves that neighbour farms and communities?

If only we were smarter and better educated, we would understand what foods to eat, what clothes to wear, what vehicles to drive, what to think about social and cultural issues, even how to vote in referendums.

“We’re hearing nothing from the government to do with supply … there’s a lot of people that are very, very bitter, a lot of people that are in dire straits.”

“They’re not blowouts,” Transport Minister Rita Saffioti said.

Of course not.

So Labor Minister Catherine King knows which WA projects are going to be cut - she just won’t tell Western Australians.

“When the recently announced Housing Supply Unit finally meet sometime next year, perhaps it could tell Premier Cook what everyone in regional Western Australia already knows - that State-provided housing is a desperate mess.”

Your WA Liberal team has a vision for this state that starts with getting the basics right and fixing Labor’s mess.

We can win and we must win.

And we will fight to give Western Australians the good government they deserve.
