23.01.2022 "I am very pleased to confirm that Western Australia has again detected zero new local cases overnight, with another incredible tally of tests conducted yesterday. Provided that no cases are detected in the next few hours, Perth, Peel and the South West will exit lockdown at 6pm tonight. This is an absolute credit to Western Australians. By stepping up, doing the right thing, and getting tested in such incredible numbers, we're able to move forward with confidence tonight. As... unveiled last night, at 6pm the South West will transition immediately back to pre-lockdown restrictions, while Perth and Peel will move to a transitional stage until Sunday 14 February. Over the coming eight days, it will be critical that we continue to follow the rules and keep up our testing numbers. I am so proud of how West Aussies have responded this week - banding together and getting the job done. The next week still won't be easy, but we will get through this, together." - Premier McGowan.

22.01.2022 NAIDOC parade past the office this morning always was, always will be. It is the responsibility of all of us to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners of this land. Now during NAIDOC Week of course but every day during the year as well.
22.01.2022 The McGowan Labor Government’s Aboriginal Procurement Policy has surpassed its 2019-20 targets by an astonishing 275 per cent, with more Aboriginal businesses than ever before engaged by the State Government. The recently released Aboriginal Procurement Policy Second Year Performance Report shows the policy is successfully improving the economic prosperity of Aboriginal businesses, their suppliers, sub-contractors and the broader Aboriginal community. In 2019-20 the State Go...vernment awarded 234 contracts worth over $172 million to Aboriginal businesses, which have actively contributed to Aboriginal economic development and downstream business benefits. This includes 7 contracts, worth $1,185,727 being awarded to Aboriginal businesses in the Goldfields-Esperance region.
20.01.2022 Every four years, a historic moment occurs at Government House. But I never thought it would look quite like this. Today I met with the Governor Kim Beazley for... the issuing of the writs for the upcoming state election. Despite suspending the WA Labor campaign because of the outbreak, the Governor is still required by law to issue the writs today in order for our fixed day election to take place on Saturday, 13 March. But our work to fight the emergencies facing our State will not stop. It is my number one responsibility as Premier. We want to crush this virus and WA is prepared for a COVID-safe election. The pandemic will pass, but our democratic traditions must, and will always continue into the future.

18.01.2022 Important update from the Premier: As you know, the short-sharp lockdown of Perth, Peel and the South West is due to end tomorrow evening at 6pm. As of 8pm tonight, I can confirm that we have recorded no new local cases of COVID-19. This is a remarkable achievement, and the credit belongs to each and every Western Australian. The short five-day lockdown has done the job it was designed to do to reassure us that we don’t have community spread of the virus....Continue reading

03.01.2022 Remembrance Day 2020 Thank you to my staffer George for laying a wreath on my behalf in Kalgoorlie today - I’m sitting in Parliment this week. I would encourage everyone to spend some time today thinking about the sacrifices made for our freedoms. And to specifically spend time remembering our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander soldiers who fought, many of whom were not properly recognised for their service.
