Opinion: The PM's Broken Promises and the Impact on West Australians
PM's Deceptive Promises
Almost 900 days ago, Anthony Albanese launched his campaign in Perth, signaling the importance of WA's support. The promises made during the campaign for a better future have consistently gone unfulfilled. West Australians rightfully ask whether Labor has delivered on the commitments made at that time.
Rising Costs and Missing Jobs
In the wake of Labor's tenure, household costs have surged: childcare by 8.4%, and gas prices by 33%. Inflation and the housing crisis have worsened due to the government's approach, which appears to contradict their pledges.
Impact on the Construction Sector
- Significant skill shortages: 130,000 fewer construction workers.
- Declining apprenticeship numbers: 85,000 fewer apprentices recorded.
- Subpar migration policies: prioritizing non-essential roles over critical trades.
As Labor allows a substantial influx of migrants without planning for adequate housing, West Australians are bearing the brunt of poor decision-making. With the government's failed energy strategies and labor regulations, the promise of more homes becomes distant.
Conclusion and Accountability
As the struggle intensifies, West Australians are urged to hold Anthony Albanese accountable for his track record. The power to initiate change lies within the electorate, who can make decisive moves in upcoming elections.
