The Nationals WA are the only party solely focussed on regional WA. We don’t have city voices in our party room, meaning we’re not dominated by city-centric thinking. That’s why we represent the best interests of regional WA.

The Nationals WA is a fiercely independent regional political party. Since becoming a fully independent party in the mid-2000s The Nationals WA have carved a niche in regional Western Australia as a no-nonsense party that thrives on getting its hands dirty – “a blood nose” – on behalf of its constituents.

Our members champion issues for regional and rural West Australians because that is where we come from.

The Party’s vision is to ensure communities in regional WA continue to be great places to live, work and play. That means making sure investment in economy, social and region-building projects is not shirked by the State Government.

During eight years in government from 2008 to 2017, we created Royalties for Regions, the biggest regional investment program in Australia’s history. Royalties for Regions invested $6.9 billion into more than 3700 regional WA programs and projects across the state. While we made strong inroads into regional development, there is more work to be done.

Despite covering more than 2.5 million square kilometres, regional WA is only represented by 16 seats in Parliament. As regional representation in the State Parliament continues to be eroded, our advocacy on issues important to those living in the bush gets louder. Our people back decentralisation, improved infrastructure in the bush, equitable access to services, support for industry and above all, a fair go for regional West Australians.
