BREAKING: The Prime Minister has just confirmed there will be no change to WA's GST deal.

[Roger Cook @RogerCookMLA]

His contribution to our State has been immense, and his legacy will be be felt for many years to come.

On behalf of the State Government, I want to thank Paul for his decades of dedicated service to Western Australia and wish him all the very best for the future.

This morning, my friend Paul Papalia announced he'll be retiring from State Parliament.

I want to sincerely thank Paul for everything he's given to our State over nearly two decades in Parliament.

[Roger Cook @RogerCookMLA]

No matter the portfolio, Paul has always approached the job with energy, determination and a genuine commitment to making Western Australia a better place.

[Roger Cook @RogerCookMLA]

I’d also like to say thank you to every Western Australia working this weekend to keep our state moving, particularly those getting our fuel to where it’s needed most.

Enjoy your Easter long weekend and stay safe WA.

WA’s weekly fuel update for Friday, 3 April 2026.

I understand these are anxious times.

But Western Australia has stared down global challenges before, and we will get through this the way we always do: together.

This will mean cheaper fuel for families, farmers and business and comes on top if the 26.3 cent reduction funded by the Commonwealth Government.

It will be funded through the return of up to $400 million in GST and will last until 30 June.

[Roger Cook @RogerCookMLA]

We’re dropping fuel prices by a further 5.7¢ per litre. Combined with the 26.3¢ excise cut, that’s a total saving of 32¢ per litre.

[Roger Cook @RogerCookMLA]

The fuel shock caused by the war in the Middle East is placing significant pressure on global economies and household budgets.

That's why State and Territory leaders have this morning agreed to fund a further 5.7 cent reduction in the fuel excise.
