WA Labor Premier Roger Cook has finally admitted what One Nation has been pointing out for some time - record migration to WA is reducing your standard of living.

The West Australian newspaper reported the Labor Government accepts that the 79,000 people who arrived in WA in 2023 had placed pressure on housing, health services and education.

We have a situation in WA where kids and adults have to wait months to get important medical treatment, where we have schools that are desperately understaffed and bursting at the seams, no housing availability and rampant cost of living pressures.

Basic economic theory informs us that when demand outweighs supply, you will get shortages, which will inevitably lead to inflation. So it should be no surprise that having more people to house, educate and keep healthy will require more resources, otherwise standards will drop.

However due to the aggressive and mismanaged budget cuts of Mark McGowan from 2017 to 2020, our services were heavily degraded, and then from 2020 onwards hysterical Covid policies made things even worse in terms of keeping up with investment for the future.

The WA Labor Government is claiming it is now investing heavily to restore health, housing and education, but everyone should understand that this is actually an admission that they have mismanaged our state for almost 8 years. It is obvious that the only reason they have to invest so much now, is because they did not invest well in the past 8 years, otherwise we would not be in this situation. But instead of investing in health, housing and education, WA Labor squandered our wealth on train lines and RAT kits.

One Nation WA has consistently pointed out that we need to manage migration better, we need to be able to look after the people who are here now before we can invite more people to join us. We need to have a responsible voice in parliament to hold the major parties to account.
