I appreciated the opportunity to visit the Yarloop Workshops with members of the Workshops Committee, the Shire of Harvey CEO and Shire Staff to talk about the future of this incredibly important heritage site.
A huge amount of work has gone into planning and rebuilding the Workshops and precinct following the devastation of the 2016 bushfires.
It was a valuable opportunity to learn more about the progress of the project, walk through the site together and encourage open discussion about the practical steps and stages needed to bring the Workshops back to life.
There is a lot of passion for this important place, and it was good to see everyone focused on finishing the work needed to reopen the site, provide access as soon as practical and ensure it has a sustainable future.
I look forward to seeing the Workshops once again open to the public, active and welcoming visitors.

Great to spend some time at Fairbridge College talking with students involved in the Big Picture Learning program, which gives students the opportunity to explore subjects that interest them.
For one student, that topic is how voting works and what it takes to run a campaign, before putting those ideas into practice through the student leader election.
I really enjoyed sharing some of my own experiences and talking about how candidates can connect, communicate ideas, seek feedback and, most importantly, listen to those they hope to represent.
Thanks for the invitation, and to the students for the great questions and engaging discussion. Best of luck to all the students taking part in the election campaigns.

Hope to see you there.

There has been plenty written and said about the Secret Harbour by-election, and it seems everyone is an expert.

But on the ground, campaigns are much simpler: you turn up, talk to people and listen.

Ryan Robertson - Liberal for Secret Harbour, our volunteers and the State Liberal team are continuing to stay focused, putting in the ground work to present a credible alternative that will represent the local community in parliament and focus on the issues that matter.

Great to attend the Australia India Business Council WA Executive Breakfast at Infosys in Perth and catch up with the past president of the India Society of WA, Surya Ambati.

There was a valuable discussion on strengthening trade between WA and India and the opportunities in innovation, technology, manufacturing and investment.

India is an increasingly important partner for WA, with growing opportunities to connect our businesses, researchers and innovators.

Thanks to AIBC WA and Infosys for hosting.

Thanks to Chevonne and the team at the Brunswick Junction Community Resource Centre for the warm welcome.
It was great to meet with the committee and hear more about the important work the Centre does for the local community, and to discuss ideas, opportunities and projects.
Community Resource Centres play a really important role in regional towns, providing services, support and inviting spaces for people of all ages to connect.

Thanks to the Coolup Progress Association for having me along to your general meeting and for the chance to talk about the issues that matter to the local community.

One issue that came up was the importance of getting the new Australind train to stop at Coolup, giving local residents better access to public transport and connections.

And the fresh homemade muffins and cake certainly made the early morning trip worthwhile, you can’t beat a warm country town welcome!

Thanks again for having me.

Please phone Beverley Glover at my office on 9531 3155 to book an appointment time.

I look forward to seeing you in Harvey.

P.S. I’ll also be holding community catch-ups in Yarloop on 1 September and Waroona on 23 September. More details to come.

Thank you to CEO and Founder Josh Wigley and the leadership team at Hyperion Systems for the recent tour of your manufacturing facility and the opportunity to discuss the capabilities of the advanced large-format 3D printing, robotics and automation technologies.

Fascinating to see how these systems can rapidly manufacture parts for marine, resources, heavy industry and other critical applications using a wide range of polymers, composites and metals.

I was also impressed by Hyperion’s TitanCell concept designed to bring advanced manufacturing closer to the point of need. Being able to deploy production capability to remote or constrained locations has enormous potential to reduce lead times and our reliance on distant suppliers, while getting critical parts and infrastructure into service faster.

The ability to work with recycled polymer feedstocks and support circular manufacturing applications is another exciting part of the technology.

Innovative technologies like these have real potential to strengthen Australia’s sovereign industrial capability and support our resources, marine, defence and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Great to see this kind of science and innovation being developed right here in Western Australia.

It was a pleasure to host the Year 6 student leaders from North Dandalup Primary School at Parliament this week. The students enjoyed a tour of Parliament House and had the opportunity to watch debate in the Chamber. Always great to have students visit and see their interest in how Parliament works.
