It looks like the Cook Government has finally understood that their current energy transition plan will fail and is now adopting my energy policy of two years ago.

Last week the State's Upper House passed my motion on the State Government's failing energy transition with support from every Party except Labor, forcing the Speaker of the Lower House to read it out on Wednesday evening. Must have been a bitter irony!

Western Australia needs an energy transition plan that can keep the lights on at a price that families and businesses can afford!

Great to get the latest updates from Alcoa on Friday with the Hon. Michelle Boylan. It's a company that employes over 4,000 West Australians.
We are pictured here with Scott Hansen from Alcoa. Thanks Scott.

Rising power prices push businesses to the brink as coal shutdown plan questioned - ABC News

WA business are seeing massive rises in power costs, and under the State Government's failing transition plan households will see skyrocketing power costs in coming years!

This week I am representing WA at the Australian Energy Producers conference in Brisbane. It has been brilliant! Pictured with AEP chair and Woodside Energy CEO Meg O'Neill, Chevron President Balaji Krishnamurthy, and former Federal Resources and Energy Minister Ian Macfarlane.

Cold and wet ANZAC dawn service at Albany this year, but bright by mid-morning! Lest we forget.

Peter Dutton was in Perth today and his comments on energy were outstanding. Proud to stand beside him and support the common sense, economic approach he talked about today at the Leadership Matters event. State and federal energy in harmony.

Great to spend the afternoon at the WA Farmers AGM yesterday with CEO Trevor Whittington and retiring president John Hassell.

Got to meet the great Antony Green on Saturday during the ABC election coverage. I really enjoyed the challenge!

The Government's firearms regulations are diabolical to the point of being deliberately obtuse. https://t.co/A1m9CkIv5q

Great news on the offshore windfarm front with proposals for turbines out in Geographe Bay running out of air. Thanks WA Business News.

Another great Remembrance Day at Bunbury. Love the 10th Light Horse re-enactment team, as does Nola Marino MP

[Steve Thomas MLC @SteveThomasMLC]

It was a great day out today at the Brunswick Show with good friends Nola Marino MP, Ben Small Liberal for Forrest, David Bolt Liberal for Murray-Wellington and Heather Reid Liberal for Bunbury.

[Steve Thomas MLC @SteveThomasMLC]

Fantastic commitment today by Peter Dutton to scrap Labor's Geographe Bay Wind Farm zone if elected. Celebrating in Busselton today with Ben Small - Liberal for Forrest, Nola Marino MP, Peter Dutton and Xavier Garbin. A great result for the South West!

Today I spent the morning with David Bolt at the Waroona Show, and the afternoon with Ben Small - Liberal for Forrest - at the Dardanup Bull and Barrel festival. Let's see who comes up with the best caption.

Labor’s new gun laws are another left-wing attack on our personal freedoms. You can read more about why I opposed their firearms legislation and stood up for your rights in the link below:

My position on the new firearms legislation is made clear in this interview.
