One of the driving reasons why I ran in 2022 was to see that opportunity reached every part of my electorate of Hasluck. I walked thousands of streets and spoke to neighbours and community members who told me, whether they lived in Brabham or Ellenbrook or Aveley, that they wanted fair access to opportunity around health care, education, training and community infrastructure. I listened, the Albanese Labor government listened and we have delivered. We have now three urgent care clinics—in Ellenbrook, in Morley and in Midland—and with this budget they will be made permanent. We have cut medicines to $25 max, which is saving thousands of dollars for people across my community. We have been doing huge work around infrastructure. After decades of inaction under the Liberal government, we now have a train line to Ellenbrook, and it is so well loved. As well, we've got a brand new station out to Midland, and, importantly, we've got community infrastructure around it. We have delivered a swimming pool that was promised, again, for decades under the Liberals. We have got a community hub, where community can come together and celebrate all things great about being in the community. We have absolutely extraordinary work being done now around environmental matters because that matters to my community too. Then there are the more practical things. We are going to be delivering our fifth tax cuts. Labor is listening. Labor is delivering. (Time expired)
