Federal Labor led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will continue to work with the Cook Labor Government to deliver for West Australians.

For too long WA was taken for granted by Canberra based Liberal Governments.

We are committed to changing this.

A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will:

• Deliver 14 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics – all you need is your Medicare card
• Ensure record federal funding for hospitals – over $3.6 billion a year
• Invest in Medicare – and cheaper medicines
• Provide Critical Minerals Production Tax Credits – growing WA’s resources sector  
• Protect WA’s share of the GST  
• Make Free-TAFE permanent   
• Deliver tax cuts for all taxpayers
• Back METRONET and deliver infrastructure for growth  

Only Labor has a plan to build Western Australia’s future.

Comments attributable to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese:

“Under the previous Liberal Government’s, Western Australia was taken for granted.

“I am changing that. WA is a key focus for my team.

“I want to be a Prime Minister for all Australians – especially WA. That’s why I’ve made a point of visiting not just Perth, but many of WA’s regions and towns including Karratha, Port Hedland, Albany, Kununurra and Geraldton.   

“Labor is strengthening Medicare, delivering 14 Urgent Care Clinics, record funding for hospital and slashing the costs of scripts to $25.

“This is in stark contrast to Peter Dutton and the Liberals who want to cut Medicare to pay for their reckless nuclear scheme.

“We’re also backing the WA mining and resources sector, supporting thousands of jobs and new industries, legislating our Production Tax Credits.

“Peter Dutton and the Liberals want to take Production Tax Credits away, calling it welfare for billionaires.

“My Government will continue to work closely with Roger Cook’s Labor Government to deliver for WA.

“I’ll always fight alongside my friend Roger Cook in the interest of Western Australians.”

Comments attributable to WA Premier Roger Cook:   

“Everyone knows how important WA will be at this federal election – and only an Albanese Labor Government really gets Western Australians.

“Western Australia has benefitted from a strong working relationship with the Albanese Labor Government, and if re-elected, we will continue to build on that relationship.

“The Albanese Labor Government has shown it will support WA jobs by backing in my government’s Made in WA vision.

“Our governments will continue to work together to keep WA economy strong: backing our resources industry, diversifying our economy for the future and making more things here.

“Western Australia is the engine room of the nation’s economy.  What is good for our state is good for the entire country.”
