Message
on WE Senate Election
Prime Minister Tony Abbott
30 March 2014
Next Saturday, the people of
Western Australia will vote in a special Senate election.
We did not want this election,
but it is an opportunity to ensure your vote supports policies to strengthen
the economy, create more jobs and help families with cost of living pressures.
Only the West Australian Liberal
team has a clear plan for this state.
We’ll boost Western Australian
mining and investment jobs by scrapping the anti-Western Australian mining tax
and we’ll reduce living costs and create more jobs by scrapping the
anti-Western Australian carbon tax. The
average family will save $550 a year and a $626 million a year hit on the West
Australian economy will be removed.
We’ll deliver record funding for
Western Australian schools – funding that the former Labor government didn’t
provide. WA schools will get an additional $120 million from the Coalition in
Canberra and we’ll work with the Western Australian Government and build the roads
of the 21st century – with over $3 billion in road investments.
Two weeks ago in Canberra Labor
voted to keep the carbon tax, last week in Canberra Labor voted to keep the
mining tax – and you can be sure that once this special election is over, Labor
will be pushing more policies that punish Western Australia. When Labor took office, federally, in 2007
West Australian unemployment was 3.3 per cent and after Labor’s carbon tax and
Labor’s mining tax it was 5.9 per cent.
And if you vote for a minor party
candidate you just don’t know who you will end up with.
So there is only one certainty in
this election – only the Liberal Party has a plan to help Western Australia
build a stronger economy with more jobs and less pressure on families.
Only a vote for the Liberal Party
will deliver a team that will stand-up and deliver a better deal for Western
Australia. |
