Standing up for Regional WA

Steve is fighting every day for the rights of regional Western Australians to maintain their livelihoods.

The continual assault from Perth and Canberra Labor on industries that they just don't understand is having an impact.

Whether it is the live sheep trade, forestry, fishing, infrastructure funding or anything else - regional Western Australians deserve our support, not endless policy changes that make things harder.
