Friends, I want to begin by thanking everyone who volunteered in the Secret Harbour by-election, those who doorknocked, set up booths, handed out how to vote cards, and put time and effort into what was a campaign we can all be proud of. And of course, on behalf of all WA Liberals, I thank Ryan Robertson for his efforts in a hard-fought campaign. As I said on election night, we have unearthed a star in Ryan, and I am very confident that he is just beginning his political jour

MLC Monash Province, Victorian Legislative Council, 1996-2002 MLC North Metropolitan Region 2013-17 MLA Hillarys 2017-21 Peter Katsambanis was a staunch Liberal who was indeed one of our ‘fiercest and finest warriors”, serving in three separate Parliamentary chambers in both Victoria and Western Australia for a total of more than 14 years. He was born in December 1965, growing up in the inner Melbourne suburb of Prahran, the son of first-generation Greek migrants. In Pet

For many Australians, their greatest and most valuable asset is their home. Over decades, they have been able to rely on that investment to grow and provide security for themselves and their families. It is the deposit for the kids. It is the retirement plan. It is the guarantee behind a grandchild's first mortgage. It now appears the Albanese Government is destroying that dream for many Australians. The value being wiped off the housing market since the Federal Budget is now

The Secret Harbour by-election is this Saturday, the 29th of August, and our WA Liberal candidate Ryan Robertson is sprinting to the finish. It's been a pleasure to campaign along Ryan during the pre-poll period and speak directly with locals, who have been telling us that after ten years of WA Labor, the Secret Harbour community feels neglected. With just a few days to go until the election, now is their chance not to just send a message, but to send Ryan Robertson to the WA

Anthony Albanese owes every Western Australian a straight answer to a simple question: will our GST arrangement change, or won't it? He still won’t give a straight answer, hiding behind tricky language, which should raise alarm bells considering this Prime Minister’s past record in regard to promises. Just over a week ago, the Productivity Commission handed down its interim report into the 2018 GST deal, the deal that guarantees WA a floor of 75 cents in the dollar, deliverin

The atmosphere at the campaign launch for Ryan Robertson, our Liberal candidate for Secret Harbour, was electric. There is a real mood for change in the electorate, with many locals telling us they are simply fed up with WA Labor. And many of these frustrated West Australians have voted Labor all their life. Which is why we are so grateful to have such a quality alternative in Ryan Robertson, who has been working hard to paint Secret Harbour blue. Ryan has served his country

This week I want to take your through the Coalition’s plan for Australia. It is a serious, comprehensive blueprint to fix the damage Labor has done and restore the standard of living Australians deserve. I believe this plan is exactly what our country needs. Under Labor, Australians have lived through the worst collapse in living standards in the developed world. Government spending is at its highest level in 40 years outside the pandemic, has passed $1 trillion, and this is

The campaign for Secret Harbour is in full swing, and our outstanding candidate Ryan Robertson has proven why it’s time for change in this traditionally safe Labor seat. While Labor’s candidate lives 61km away from the electorate, Ryan runs his small business in the area, represents most of the electorate already as a local councillor, and has deep roots in the community dating back to his time in the Navy. That means he understands local needs and is ready to stand up for th

When just a few hundred workers can bring Australia’s most important export gateway to a standstill, something has gone badly wrong. The industrial action now underway at BHP’s Port Hedland operations is not simply another workplace dispute. It has already resulted in the first major strike at BHP’s Pilbara iron ore operations in decades, despite ongoing negotiations and contingency measures to keep exports moving. That alone is a warning about the direction Australia is head
