But, with the Leader of the Opposition, Western Australians can see themselves having an alternative leader and an alternative government that actually do care about them, that take the time to come and visit them and listen to them. Having to play Where's Wally? with this Prime Minister means that Western Australians have a very clear choice. They have a very clear choice in the upcoming by-elections, partly because the Liberal Party have refused to run any candidates because they are running scared. Western Australians have a very, very clear choice at the next federal election.

An honourable member interjecting—

The member opposite keeps interjecting and saying we're not very happy. I will take that interjection because, indeed, Western Australians aren't happy. Western Australians are not happy with the level of representation that they're getting from their six frontbench cabinet ministers as well as other representatives here in this place about their concerns and the things that they need in Western Australia. WA does have a clear choice in these upcoming elections. Their voices will be heard. Their voices will be heard at the next federal election in those polling booths. Either they can vote for an LNP that doesn't even care enough to run candidates in two critical by-elections, that doesn't even care enough to have somebody from that side stand up, or they can vote for a Shorten Labor government—a Labor government that cares, a Labor government that listens and, most importantly, a Labor government that delivers for Western Australia.
