MP for Cunningham Forza was seen taking a well-earned break to visit friends in Western Australia today. While he wasn’t there on official business, media did manage to grab a few talking points out of him.

What am I doing on the opposite side of the country during an election campaign? Luckily for me I’ve been re-elected unopposed, the major parties yet again have shown they do not care for the people of Cunningham. I’ve been working non-stop for the whole term, so thought a break to see my cousins in the Perth area would be a good idea.

As it happens the independent running in the seat of Pearce is Mostlywellthen, a candidate who has a reputation for wanting to get the hard work done for his people. But what do the people of Pearce want from their politicians? Mostly knows they want to be supported above the East, to be put first before big wigs in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney.

Western Australians want improved regional transport infrastructure. Pearce is a big electorate covering the whole state and some of the most used outback roads are unsealed. Passenger trains don’t go far enough – an extension to Norseman would prove handy. With such a large coast line and ground area taking up nearly one third of the country more rest bays are sorely needed, particularly due to the rise of electric vehicles and popularity of ‘TikTok’ travels.

But it’s not just all about travel and the outback’s’ remote living conditions, Western Australia like the rest of the country needs more housing to provide for the influx in immigration, and to hold down rent prices for those who are already here. Mostlywellthen wants to build more social housing blocks in the most vulnerable suburbs, upgrade existing social housing to meet modern standards and to ensure social housing doesn’t become a concrete cinderblock by committing to make social housing spaces greener with more shrubbery, trees and flora.

So when you’re there this weekend at the ballot box, remember there is only one candidate that will commit to doing exactly what you want as Western Australians, not just to serve some party big wig in Sydney or their leader in Canberra. Mostlywellthen will deliver results for Pearce locals.

Whilst I’m not a local, its clear Mostlywellthen is the member Pearce both needs and deserves to deliver for the West above the East.
