You heard it during the election: All you need to see your GP is your Medicare card.

But that’s not the reality in WA.

Bulk-billing GPs are disappearing.

In our region, fewer than 18% of clinics offer fully bulk-billed visits.

Anthony Albanese promised you affordable healthcare—but you’re paying more and waiting longer.

Labor can’t be trusted to deliver.

Billions Burnt, Basin Betrayed

The Albanese Government is preparing to siphon off another $2.8 billion to buy water it cannot deliver, for “environmental outcomes” it cannot achieve, through a Basin Plan that even its own experts warn is “far from certain” to meet its targets. While just 170GL of the 450GL has been recovered, Canberra now wants taxpayers to foot a blowout of over $1.3 billion—all while the national debt clock spins like a slot machine and the Prime Minister quietly urges states to “cut spending” in essential services like health. It’s a double standard that hits Murray hardest: slash budgets for rural patients, but open the chequebook for water buybacks that rip jobs from irrigation towns and gut the food bowl that feeds Australia.

What’s happening to Murray isn’t reform—it’s a slow, deliberate hollowing out of the communities that feed this nation. Every litre stripped from our region is a litre stripped from food production, small businesses, and the industries that hold our towns together. I’ve called it exactly what it is: economic vandalism and environmental fraud. Instead of addressing the real failures at the bottom of the river system—like the choking Murray Mouth, the mismanaged Lower Lakes, and South Australia’s diversions—Canberra keeps punishing the top, draining water from productive communities while delivering nothing in return. We deserve transparency, infrastructure, and technology-driven solutions—not another multi-billion-dollar raid on the very people who grow this nation’s food.
