I will keep going until our regions get public transport, more social and affordable housing, local gov having more say in local developments, access to local and affordable healthcare, hemp industries support and the option to home grow and drive (unimpaired) without being a “criminal” watch out!

WA Senate. Supporters include (candidates from) Citizen's Party, Australia's Voice, @fusionparty.org.au, @greens.org.au, Indies, @mel4lcwa.bsky.social & @lcwa-party.bsky.social, Socialist Alliance, & Trumpet of Patriots. Jason Meotti from @lcwa-party.bsky.social also signed yesterday.
Does your party support ALL workers receiving at least minimum wage? Candidates were asked if they agree: “We oppose the practice of paying disabled workers subminimum wage. It is unacceptable that in 2025 disabled people living in Australia can be paid as little as $3.01/hr, while the minimum wage for others is $24.10/hr.”

Vote number 1 Legalise Cannabis on May 3rd and then all the other minor parties that align with your values. A minority government means more robust debates, more points of views and more individuals having their own voting choices not just towing the major parties #freetheweed #legaliseit #vote1LC

𝗟𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 - 𝗔 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 The mainstream media, bless them, are portraying the Liberals as the government-in-waiting here in Western Australia, while steadfastly ignoring our Legalise Cannabis candidates as somehow beneath coverage. The truth is a little different though ... 🧵 #wapol

Scrapping region-based voting in WA could have unintended consequences
There are fears regional West Australians will miss out on vital political representation as the state adopts a new method of electing upper house MPs.

Encourage farmers to cultivate hemp as a major renewable, sustainable agricultural resource that can feed people and value added industries will create jobs. Hemp will both complement and reduce the need for the more unsustainable and inefficient crops. #Auspol www.legalisecannabis.org.au/economic

Last week Premier Cook started his campaign saying people need to head bush as Perth can’t cope and this week he announced Labor’s vision for the SW and then confirmed no commitment to upgrading Margaret River Hospital, we can just head to Bunbury. Coming up to 20 years since Margs had any upgrade😳
