Rita Saffioti won’t even tell us where the “Made in WA” stickers are made. Pages and pages of redacted Freedom of Information requests and non-answer after non-answer in Parliament show the astonishing arrogance of WA Labor. Read more👇 https://t.co/2PDFKDd6A8

It beggars belief that any government would deny the public full details of its own policy to ensure that at least 50 per cent of a $1.6 billion contract was being spent locally – as it had promised.

The Opposition have labelled figures showing Perth public transport patronage failing to surpass its peak of 12-years-ago, despite a spend of more than $12.4 billion on Metronet projects, as “embarrassing”. https://t.co/Et9n6LqNtj

All week in The Parliament of Western Australia we've been asking the government for straight answers... All week they've ducked, dived and dodged... but today they were caught out in their own web of spin. Tell the truth Premier Cook - we are talking about the victims of

Nearly eight years of WA Labor, only 504 social homes delivered. Last figure reported to Parliament is 35,924 people on the public housing waitlist.

Is the Keep the Sheep campaign starting to bite in marginal seats? Why would WA communities need “wellbeing support” if this decision isn’t having a dramatic social and economic impact on individuals and communities? https://t.co/WySyqgSYGF

Labor’s latest attempt to shut down the Keep the Sheep campaign and protests from WA farmers is long on rhetoric and short on detail, writes Liberal MLC Steve Martin.

Has anyone in the Cook Labor Government been paying attention to what is going on with some of the planning issues around wind farms?

A great crowd of 700 for the Bringing Dowerin Downtown lunch at Crown today. @DowerinFieldDay General Manager Danielle Green and her team brought the best of WA agriculture to the city today. The Dowerin Field Day is also celebrating its 60th anniversary later this year.

Our ad in the West Australian today, reminding you that WA Labor's Metronet is the most expensive project in our state's history due to the Cook Labor Government's mismanagement. Metronet highlights WA Labor and Roger Cook’s priorities - and it’s not on the issues most important

Mismanaged and botched from the start, costing Western Australians billions. Don’t believe the spin - Metronet is the biggest blowout disaster WA has ever seen. @LibbyMettam @LiberalsWA

Nothing but seven years of spin on housing from WA Labor. https://t.co/VoHu1vqEiu

No amount of spin, photo opportunities or self-congratulations can hide the reality that Labor has failed to meet the demand for housing in WA.

Acting Liberal leader Steve Martin said the Government had failed to meet its own standard of “gold standard transparency” on the data. A standard which is looking more than a little tarnished https://t.co/9YS3kcivUT

More than one in five WA families failed to apply for the State Government’s school assistance payment as Labor tips the leftover funds into a school uniform discount scheme.

In Labor’s housing crisis, builders are being ignored as they send a clear message about workforce shortages, while being asked to build more homes than they possibly can. My opinion editorial in The West Australian today👇 https://t.co/dtJhmG0OeV

With the Western Australian building sector crying out for more skilled tradies to ease the housing crisis gripping this State, Federal Labor has delivered yoga instructors.

Give Albo the trots. Thanks to WA country racing and pacing for getting on board the #keepthesheep campaign.

The Greens are writing Labor’s energy policy and the Animal Justice Party are in charge of Labor’s agriculture policy. “The Greens have killed Labor’s gas fast-track bill,” Mr Bandt said. What could possibly go wrong. https://t.co/QqbeneIEQT

Laws aimed at curtailing ‘lawfare’ against major gas projects will be put on the backburner under a complex deal Labor has struck with the Greens.
