25.01.2022 It’s been a pleasure to take my experience in small business and my connection to Indian and apply it to the Parliamentary Economics and Industry Standing Committee’s work on our state’s unique trading relationship. In our ever changing and evolving global market, our work in WA Parliament can put Australian businesses in the best possible position to benefit from trade with India. It was a pleasure to catch up with the Indian Consul General Ms. Dantu Charandasi and my committee and WA Labor colleague Jessica Shaw MLA to discuss the report.
25.01.2022 The $240 million Armadale Rd to North Lake Rd Bridge project is tracking along! Less than eight months into construction, the project has achieved a significant milestone with completion of excavation and concrete works at its central bridge pier on Kwinana Freeway. This is the first critical step in connecting Armadale Road and North Lake Road over Kwinana Freeway....

24.01.2022 It wouldn't be the final sitting of Parliament for the year without a song from the wonderfully talented Minister for the Arts, David Templeman MLA! Have a listen!
24.01.2022 Sometimes being a member of parliament is as easy as childs play Simone McGurk MLA joined me for a tour of Child Australia Harrisdale Early Learning and a meeting with the key community stakeholders (pictured below). The feedback was clear - sand can be used to make cakes or as a muddy zoo for animals AND our ever-growing community will benefit in the long term by solid investment in early childhood education. ... Harrisdale has the 2nd greatest number of children per household in Western Australia, and is one of the fastest growing communities in the country. This is why Ive worked with the McGowan Labor Government to secure funding for a new high school in Piara Waters and an additional primary school in Harrisdale North. This is just another way were building a better future for WA kids!
24.01.2022 Wishing everyone a very happy Fathers Day! I couldnt be who I am today without my Dad, who has always been my lighthouse.

23.01.2022 #FlashbackFriday In October 2018 I joined Piara Waters Primary School students and teachers to announce the conversion of existing classrooms into dedicated science labs As a parent, I want my kids (and all Western Australian kids) to be prepared for the jobs of the future - because I know that a solid schooling in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) will prepare them better for the jobs of tomorrow. Canning Vale, Forrestdale, Piara Waters and Leemin...g Primary Schools all received funding to install the labs - with the final installations to be completed next year. This is just another way were building a better future for Jandakot and WA kids!

22.01.2022 As you might have seen, on Sunday we announced that construction is underway on widening and lengthening the Ranford Road Bridge. This congestion-busting, job-creating project will ensure that we can fit the new Thornlie to Cockburn Link under Ranford road and give cars an extra lane as well as put in a dedicated bus lane. On top of this, there will a shared use pathway on either side ... Good things take time. So I want to sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding during construction.

21.01.2022 The benefits of participating in community sport are immense! Not only does it improve your physical well being, it also does wonders for your mental health, too. There are many groups within our community who dont participate in community sporting - which means they miss out on its benefits. ... $100,000 of Targeted Participation Program funding is open to local community organisations and sport and recreation clubs to increase community participation.

20.01.2022 KAREL AVE UPDATE This weekend Karel Avenue will be closed until 5am on Monday 14th September in both directions to enable new bridge beams over the rail line to be installed. The bridge beams are 44 metres long and weigh 161 tonnes each. ... The widening of the bridge on Karel Avenue will reduce congestion and improve access to Roe Highway and Kwinana Freeway.

20.01.2022 40KM/H SPEED LIMIT OVER RANFORD RD BRIDGE - PLEASE SHARE I want to thank everyone again for their patience as we all adjust to the changes on Ranford Rd bridge as works begin to widen it from FOUR lanes to EIGHT lanes. I am working to address the lighting and lane merging queries that myself and Terry Healy MLA have been contacted about. But in the meantime I ask that everyone slow down and obey the new 40km/h speed limit in place while works progress.... This new speed limit will be in place until works are complete and will help keep everyone safe. Many local residents in Canning Vale and surrounds have contacted me personally about instances of speeding across the modified road layout. If you have family, friends or colleagues that use this bridge, please ask them to obey the speed limit.
18.01.2022 Jandakot, lets talk trash!

18.01.2022 There is no excuse for violence against women. Yet every 9 days one woman is killed by a man, and 1 in 6 women experience violence at the hands of their partner. Every single one of these experiences are a tragedy, and are completely avoidable. The annual 16 Days in WA Stop Violence Against Women campaign begun yesterday, and I’m inviting our community to take a part in this major effort to stop violence against women.... Join the 16 Days in WA movement and think about how you can educate, motivate and advocate in your community, and stand up to stop violence against women. Find out more at https://www.communities.wa.gov.au/projects/16-days-in-wa/
17.01.2022 #flashbackfriday - One of my proudest moments as the Member for Jandakot was working with the community and Harrisdale Senior High School to introduce a Gifted and Talented Program to the school. The first intake in 2021 will involve up to 32 Year 7 students, and will ensure that our best and brightest dont have to travel too far to get to school. Less time commuting means more time for studying!
17.01.2022 It was a pleasure and a privilege to join Indian Society of WA (ISWA), India in Australia (Consulate General of India, Perth), Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Paul Papalia CSC MLA and Dr Jags - Labor for Riverton to celebrate Indias 74th Independence Day. The work that the Indian Society and the Indian Consulate General do in celebrating the Indian community in Australia is fantastic, and was really on show this weekend for our celebrations of 73 years of Indian independence and self-determination.
17.01.2022 Being stuck in roadworks is pretty frustrating sometimes. I know it. It experience it when I drive around our communuity - and Im sure you could guess that a few other people have shared their frustrations with me too. But sometimes temporarily closing a road or slowing traffic is a necessary part of building better infrastructure for our community. ... I want to thank all of you for your patience as we start new projects like the Ranford road bridge expansion, and finalise works on Karel Avenue. There will be delays, and it will slow things down - but itll also mean a better flow of traffic in the future AND money injected into our economy by spending on vital infrastructure projects. Good things take time - so thank you for your patience as we get on with delivering on job-creating congestion-busting projects.
17.01.2022 Karel Ave Noise Wall This morning me and my volunteers were out on this beautiful morning doorknocking in Leeming to ask residents whether theyd support a noise reduction wall on Karel Avenue. The level of support amongst residents has been overwhelming! Thank you to those who have signed our petition - but our work isnt done yet! ...

17.01.2022 We're bringing Western Power Jobs to our community Yesterday I joined Energy Minister Bill Johnston MLA to turn the first sod of soil at the new South Metro Western Power Depot in Forrestdale. During construction, 1100 jobs will be created, and once operating there will be 850 people working from the site. ... That's 850 people buying coffees each day from our cafes, 850 sandwiches from our tuck-shops, and 850 cars stopping at our servos to fill up - a massive injection of cash into our local economy! This is just another way that myself and the McGowan WA Labor Government are investing in Jandakot
16.01.2022 Have you heard about Little Things for Tiny Tots? Today I visited Mrs Kyper in Willage to collect her’s and Mrs Taylor’s knitted blankets and baby jackets as part of my collection drive for Little Things for Tiny Tots.

16.01.2022 Our fight against COVID has meant that many friends and families have been separated. It’s not something that I liked to see, and it certainly wasn’t something that our government took lightly. Thankfully, from 8th of December Victoria and NSW will be classified as very low risk jurisdictions. ...Continue reading
15.01.2022 It was my pleasure to drop in on Cricketers Club in Harrisdale on Saturday and meet some of the younger players. Ive been a lifelong cricket fan, and have been playing locally since arriving over 20 years ago - so I was happy to make the time to drop by!
15.01.2022 Times have been incredibly hard for lots of Western Australian businesses and workers. As a former small business owner, I could see the impact the pandemic had on spending and our economy. But our quarantine measures, good hygiene practises and hard borders reduced the impact of the pandemic on Western Australia, and meant that our economy could reopen earlier than others. ... This was a collective effort by all Western Australians, and a result that we should all be proud of. Our efforts allowed us to continue to experience economic growth throughout the June 2019 to June 2020 period. States that didnt implement the same measures - especially our hard border - unfortunately didnt fare as well. There is still more work to be done, however - and we are doing it. The Mark McGowan Labor Government have a recovery plan for getting the WA economy back on track. To find out more about our plan, go to www.wa.gov.au/government/wa-recovery

10.01.2022 Have you seen the new designs for the Ranford Road Station as part of the Thornlie to Cockburn Link? Initial surveying works are underway at the site (which is why there are hundreds of those white poly pipes sticking out of the ground on the side of Ranford Road). When completed, residents will be able to reach Perth City in under 30 minutes.
07.01.2022 I met a bit of a local legend and Perthonality, Ron (or Jimmy) De Lacy whilst I was out doorknocking in Leeming about our campaign for a noise wall on Karel Ave. In 1981 Ron was chosen from 250 fellow employees from the MTT (now PTA) to promote bus services. Although it was a bit before my time, I am told that he was quite the household name in Perth during the 80s! Ron is also a bit of an artist and cartoonist - and I want to thank him for the very current one of Palmer an...d the hard border below. I think its very fair to suggest that Palmer is a little bit full of hot air. If you havent already done so, please let me know of your support for a noise reduction wall at www.yazmubarakai.com.au/com/karel-ave-noise-abatement-wall/
07.01.2022 Those experiencing family and domestic violence shouldn't be forced to stay in unsafe conditions because of their tenancy agreement. That’s why our Government changed the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 to better meet the needs of tenants experiencing family and domestic violence. Victims can now choose to stay or leave their tenancies and if desired, make their rental homes safer with timely access to lock changes and other security upgrades. ... It’s practical changes like these that help survivors of family and domestic violence to feel safer and more supported.
06.01.2022 A little bit of education early in life on respectful and relationships can go a long way in changing behaviours. We have rolled out the $1 million WA Respectful Relationships Teaching Support Program pilot, supporting school staff to teach students about domestic violence prevention By teaching students about healthy and positive relationships and by implementation of a whole-of-school approach to violence prevention, we’re making sure WA students have a better understanding of preventing, identifying and stopping family and domestic violence.

But our campaign isnt over yet! I will continue to meet with the PTA and the Minister for Transport, the Hon Rita Saffioti MLA to push for this addition. ... Our communities are incredibly popular places to lives, and I will continue to ensure that the State Government is providing the facilities needed to accommodate us. Treeby Community Association Calleya Calleya Estate, Treeby (Banjup)

Please remember to be courteous to other drivers, observe the sign posted speed limit (its 40 at the Ranford Road bridge construction site) and please dont interfere with the traffic cones and signs.

There are many West Aussies who are looking for work, so we want to do our bit to match up those workers with these important roles and assist the many WA producers who are doing it tough. ... What a great opportunity to experience the outback and the beautiful pastoral regions of our great state!
02.01.2022 The WA hard border has been an effective measure in mitigating the spread of COVID-19. I am glad that common sense has prevailed, and that the Federal Court has found in favour of our hard border - and I know that there will be many Jandakot residents feeling who are relieved to hear of this decision. As I have said before, for as long as is deemed necessary and lawfully allowed, I will support our interstate border restrictions.
