Roger Cook and WA Labor will always do what’s right for WA

• Re-elected Cook Labor Government to deliver cost of living relief for Western Australians
• More things to be made locally with Roger Cook and WA Labor’s Made in WA plan
• More than 343,000 jobs have been created under WA Labor since 2017

A re-elected Cook Labor Government has vowed to continue to deliver cost of living relief and make more things here with its Made in WA plan.

Underpinned by WA Labor’s vision to keep WA’s economy strong, Made in WA will put manufacturing back at the heart of the economy and deliver more job opportunities for future generations.

Western Australia is the best performing economy in the country, resulting in more people in jobs than ever under a WA Labor Government.

With strong employment, Roger Cook and WA Labor have committed to diversifying the economy and building on their record of growing local manufacturing by making more things in WA.

During its time in office, the WA Labor Government has brought back railcar manufacturing to WA and built bridges across the State using local manufacturers.

Building on its credentials, a re-elected Cook Labor Government will invest in local battery manufacturing to create thousands of local jobs.

WA Labor has also committed to building electric ferries, electric buses, making power lines in WA, and equipping Western Australians with the skills they need for the jobs of the future by making TAFE free.

The massive pipeline of work will support thousands more local jobs and shore up opportunities for WA businesses.

It’s part of Roger Cook’s Made in WA Plan and is about doing what’s right for WA.

Strong economic management has allowed the WA Labor Government to deliver more than $1.1 billion worth of cost of living initiatives in the past year alone, programs which are set to be expanded if re-elected.

Delivering real cost of living relief is the number one priority for Roger Cook and WA Labor and a re-elected Cook Labor Government will get on with the job immediately.

Permanent cost of living relief will be delivered by helping Western Australians buy household batteries – slashing power bills for the future.

WA Labor has made public transport cheaper and a re-elected Cook Labor Government will further slash the zone fare structure making one flat fare zone for everyone.

The second round of the highly successful WA Student Assistance Payment program will commence immediately upon return of a WA Labor Government.

In a first for WA, a re-elected Cook Labor Government will undertake comprehensive planning to implement optional five-day free kindy for Western Australian families.

Comments attributed to Premier Roger Cook:

“A Government I lead will continue to deliver cost of living relief for Western Australians, while creating quality job opportunities through our Made in WA plan."

“In times of global challenges, WA needs a steady hand at the wheel, which is why Western Australians should stay the course with a unified and experienced WA Labor Government with a strong record of delivering for WA."

“We’ve kept our economy strong, delivered key cost of living initiatives, brought back railcar manufacturing and built our bridges locally."

“While the Liberals and Nationals are dysfunctional and fighting one another, they’re not fighting for Western Australians. They are simply not up for the job and are a risk to WA’s future."

“Only WA Labor has the experience to do what’s right for WA.”
