22.01.2022 Today the McGowan Labor Government announced the WA Household Elecrticity credit of $600.00. Every household in Western Australia will receive a historic, one-off $600 Household Electricity Credit. The WA Household Electricity Credit will be automatically applied to every Synergy or Horizon Power residential account as of today.... You will see it on your own bill in November and December. It'll mean WA families have a bit of extra money available in the lead up to Christmas. When purchasing in the lead up to Christmas, support local! By spending local, you'll be helping to support WA jobs, support your fellow West Aussies, and keep WA safe and strong.

17.01.2022 Second round of Tourism Recovery Grants announced! Many local businesses across the North West have never been busier with so many West Australians out exploring our great State. However for some tourism businesses, they are still feeling the effects from the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe. This fantastic program is providing direct financial assistance to local tourism businesses to help them recover and grow from the impacts of COVID-19. This funding will go a long way... in supporting these businesses to help cover costs, purchase supplies and services, and shift their focus to the domestic market. Congratulations to the following recipients of this round- The Cove Holiday Village, The Flying Sandgroper - Adventure Tours & Travel, Pilbara Dive and Tours, Ningaloo Coral Bay - Bayview and Broome Camel Safaris to name a few. A full list of successful Tourism Business Survival Grants Program recipients can be found at www.tourism.wa.gov.au Mining & Pastoral Region residents have done a great job supporting local businesses during the pandemic, let’s continue to support local businesses and jobs to keep WA safe and strong!

Congratulations all the team at AAC for all their work to get this scheme underway in the Shire of Ashburton for Tom Price and Paraburdoo - it helps to reduce rubbish in the landfill, encourages recycling, shows care for country and employs local people!

15.01.2022 Living and working in a mining town which regularly calls out for skilled workers, I know how important it is that our TAFE campuses are fit for contemporary (& future) course delivery. That's why the McGowan Government is committed to TAFE improvements so that attending a TAFE is even more accessible to West Aussies across our State. Together with the Federal Government, we’re announcing $8 million to upgrade TAFE campuses across WA as part of the Revitalising TAFE Campuses... Across Australia program. The program will deliver important upgrades to vocational infrastructure and improved training delivery. This is in addition to the State Government’s $229.2 million Rebuilding our TAFEs investment to revitalise training and upgrade essential infrastructure across the five WA TAFE colleges, delivering a pipeline of work for Western Australians.

02.01.2022 Pausing to remember the sacrifices made by our Police. A national Police Remembrance Day is commemorated each year on 29 September as a way of remembering officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. All officers and their families know that policing can sometimes be a dangerous job but when a life is taken, the "police family" pulls together to support and care for one another.... When tragedy strikes, WA Police Legacy is there to offer more immediate and direct assistance to the spouses and their loved ones. For all ceremonies a blue and white chequered ribbon is worn to remember those fallen members and to take strength in the knowledge that their memory lives on in our hearts. We will remember.
