Last year, every Labor MP signed our anti-privatisation pledge. We invited Liberal MPs to sign also, but not one of them did. This is just one of the reasons we don't trust the Liberals on privatisation.

Public ownership means essential services like Western Power are accountable to us and there is more transparency around profits, prices and decision-making. #wapol

Private companies prioritise profits, whereas publicly-owned companies prioritise the community. That's why essential services should stay public. #wapol

We saved Western Power from the Liberals' privatisation plan in 2017. Now they're planning to 'deregulate' our electricity market, which is privatisation by stealth. You can't trust the Liberals on privatisation. #wapol

Premier Mark McGowan has been consistently strong in his opposition to privatisation. That's why we're supporting him.

Publicly owned assets are focused on the community, not their shareholders, meaning better services, more local jobs and profits that stay in WA. #wapol

Profits made by Alinta used to go to WA, but after the Liberals privatised Alinta, it was purchased by a company in Hong Kong, which is where all the profits now go. #wapol

Privatisation sees jobs and apprentices cut in pursuit of profits. Which also means fewer people in the community with money in their pocket to spend with local businesses. #wapol

As if the Liberals wouldn't privatise Western Power if they were elected to government. And we know privatisation leads to higher prices, because the number one priority of private companies is to make a profit. #wapol

Profits made by publicly owned assets go back into services like schools, hospitals and police. Public ownership is good for WA! #wapol

The Liberals have a long history of privatisation. How can you trust them not to do it again? #wapol

Early voting starts today! Let's support politicians we can trust to keep Western Power in public hands. #wapol

The Liberals cut 501 jobs from Western Power before the 2017 election because they were trying to make the books look good for buyers. We can't trust the Liberals when it comes to privatisation. #wapol

In 2016, the Liberals were fattening Western Power up for sale. They stopped hiring apprentices and they sacked 501 West Australians.

Publicly owned electricity. Of the people, by the people, for the people. Let's use our power again to keep Western Power in public hands.

The Liberals have a track record of privatising public assets including Alinta, which they sold in 1998. We can't trust them when it comes to privatisation. #wapol

The Liberals privatised AlintaGas in the 90s. Now it's overseas-owned. Decisions made offshore. Profits heading overseas. We don't want the same for Western Power or Synergy.
