West reflects on election result

/

Member for Agricultural Region Darren West says he’s looking forward to “getting on with the job” of delivering for Geraldton and the Mid West after WA Labor’s stunning election win last month.

Mr West, who was returned at the recent poll said he is determined to get Geraldton moving again and thanked the Geraldton electorate and the wider Agricultural region for their support. .

“Being elected is humbling and I thank the electorate for their faith in us and the opportunity to get things done in the region,” he said.

“WA Labor made some sound commitments to the community before the election and our focus will be on making these projects a reality.

“WA Labor will also retain Royalties for Regions fund but will spend the money more wisely and more fairly with a focus on regional roads and regional jobs and will continue the Country Aged Pension Fuel Card at $575 per year.”

Mr West said his office will remain at 84 Marine Terrace in Geraldton.

“I am not moving out and the door is always open.”

Also elected representing Labor in the Agricultural Region is former City of Greater Geraldton Councillor, Laurie Graham, who will be sworn in to the Parliament on May 21.

Mr West said that he is delighted to get the opportunity to work with Laurie to represent the people of the Agricultural Region, which extends from Kalbarri to Esperance.

“Our differing skill set means that we will complement each other well in the community.”

Mr West also paid tribute to WA Labor Candidate for Geraldton Lara Dalton, who he described as “a breath of fresh air” and the clear choice of the community on March 11.

“The community clearly wanted Lara as their representative in Parliament but sadly the Nationals and One Nation preferences went against her and handed the Liberals the seat.

“While we are very disappointed that Lara was not successful, I remain hopeful that she will contest Geraldton again in 2021 - Geraldton needs her positive approach and willingness to get things done.”

Mr West was sworn in as Parliamentary Secretary to Minister Alannah MacTiernan and will assist with the portfolios of Agriculture and Food, Regional Development, State Development, Trade and Jobs.

Separation Point

/

Everybody loves a pretty sunset but often we don't make the effort to actually go see it.

As we live on the edge of the sea, I would highly recommend checking it out at this gorgeous spot just five minutes out of the city centre. It’s called Separation Point and you can view the ocean for miles as well as the outline of the city too.

Pop out for dinner at the picnic table provided, a walk along the beach, or just to see the sun disappearing over the horizon.

Just remember to bring your camera! It’s a serene spot and I would totally recommend checking it out.
