Sovereign Australia · State — Western Australia Issues
Australia and Australians first, for a Sovereign Australia.
I’m running as an independent, standing on Sovereign Australia’s policies. Look for MURRELL, Brett — the last name on the ballot paper, with no party beside it.
Polling day Sat 29 August · Early voting from Mon 17 August
The government tells the people the truth and hides nothing. Full transparency — the real state of things, the real spending, the real decisions, open to anyone, every time.
Government business done in the open, representing the people — not donors, not lobbyists, not mates. No backroom deals, no greasy palms, no favours: every contract, every dollar, every decision above board. A government that keeps the law it makes and cannot be bought.
Crimes are prosecuted and everyone is held to account — in government and on the street alike. Bad decisions, bad behaviour and broken laws carry consequences, and the whistleblowers who expose them are fully backed. A clear warning to anyone who knowingly cheats or breaks the law: no cover-ups, no one above the rules, no soft touch.
Local, and specific to this district.
Promised at the 2017 state election, deferred so the money went to Lakelands, and still without a construction timeline. Every candidate now says they will build it.
Build it — on a published timeline and a published budget. The promise is not the hard part. The date is.
The emergency department was rebuilt in 2004 for up to 45,000 presentations a year. The Mental Health Emergency Centre promised for the hospital was still out to tender in May 2026.
Capacity matched to the population, and the mental health centre built rather than announced. Ramping hours for this hospital published every week.
Between a mortgage and a rental queue there is nothing cheap, small and decent to start in. It puts people in cars, students on long commutes and thirty-year-olds in a childhood bedroom.
Trial it here, in suitable locations, and publish the results. Rural sites towards the hills, inner-city sites in centres like Rockingham. Neither is legal to build today — the planning zone does not exist, and that is a state decision.
Six a state member fights for. Six a state or federal member fights for. Every fix is drawn from the party’s published policy — each card links to the page it comes from.
These sit with the WA Parliament.
Groceries cost a quarter to a third more than in 2021, and they are not coming back. Rent takes a record share of income. Electricity rebates hid a 19 per cent rise, then expired and handed it back.
Lower taxes, cheaper power, real competition. Two chains hold two-thirds of the groceries. Track prices farm gate to shelf in real time and act on what actually moved — instead of raising every mortgage in the country.
People are sleeping in cars and tents across Rockingham and Mandurah. One in ten renters now spends more than 60 per cent of their income on rent — four per cent did in 2022.
Build the two things that do not exist yet. Community Towns on rural land, where you own the dwelling and lease the site. City Communities in empty commercial buildings. Both are currently illegal to build, because the planning zone does not exist.
Western Australia sold $220 billion of minerals and petroleum last year and collected $10.6 billion — under five per cent. Gold, at a record price, is charged at two and a half.
One levy, charged on the sale value of the ore. Rates that rise with the price, no deductions, and a share that includes the offshore gas the state currently gets nothing from.
Police recorded 97,800 family violence offenders in a year — the highest rate on record. An order can be made on one person’s account, and the other may wait months to be heard.
Both sides heard inside 21 days, and no order standing longer than that unheard. A Royal Commission into family law to fix the system above it.
Western Australia has no refinery. Kwinana was the only one on the west coast — 65 years old, 650 jobs — and it became an import terminal in 2021. Every litre of fuel in this state now arrives on a ship, and the country holds roughly three weeks of it.
Refine our own fuel and hold a real reserve. Australia’s obligation is 90 days of net imports; we sit near 20 on diesel. Drill the oil we already have, refine it here, and publish the import parity price so the pump can be checked against the landed cost.
Contracts, ministerial diaries and lobbying meetings are decided in public money and kept out of public view. You find out what was agreed on your behalf years later, if at all.
Every contract every contract published within 30 days, at every value. Ministerial diaries weekly. Lobbying disclosed within 48 hours. Live spending on the People’s Portal.
These belong to Canberra. A state member argues them. A federal member votes on them. Sovereign Australia is contesting both parliaments.
About 6,500 Australians a year die from suicide, drugs and alcohol combined — eighteen a day, five times the road toll, a rate unchanged for a decade. No portfolio owns it.
Declare a national emergency. One minister accountable, one national count, and the clinical floor held.
Excise drove the legal price so high that the criminal supply took the market. Revenue is collapsing, the trade is violent, and the health outcome went backwards.
Cut the excise, take back the market. A legal product priced to beat the black market, and enforcement aimed at the trade rather than the smoker.
The under-16 ban requires age verification of every Australian to police the accounts of some, and pushes the young onto services with no safety obligation at all.
Revert the ban. Access controls, device-level tools and real enforcement against platforms — not identity checks on the whole country.
HMAS Stirling is just north of this electorate and hosts Submarine Rotational Force — West. The risk, the waste and the jobs land here, and nobody who lives beside it was asked.
Full disclosure and an independent cost review. Sovereign capability first, and nothing decided about this coast without the coast being told.
A standing United Nations commission found genocide in Gaza in September 2025. Australia’s response has been managed for the alliance and written to avoid saying anything.
One standard, applied to allies too. The 1967 line, international law as it is written, and a position stated in plain words.
Belonging is at its lowest level since records began and hostility toward one community rose sharply in two years, while division stays profitable to the people selling it.
Together we are strong. Divided we fall. A national day of celebration in every community, and legislation breaking the concentration of media ownership.
The government, re-architected: 7 departments, plus the Digital Australia Authority.
The digital layer running across all seven departments — data, services, and the People’s Portal.

Sovereign Australia backs a strong safety net — and is honest about what pays for it. A country that grows things, makes things and processes things can afford to look after its people. A country that does not, cannot.
So we open markets, clear away what stands between an Australian and the thing they are trying to build, and create the work and the ownership that move people off support and into a wage or a business of their own.
That is not a left or a right position. It is an order of operations. Industry first, so the country can afford the rest.
Sovereign Australia is a political party. It has no connection, association or affiliation of any kind with the “sovereign citizen” movement, its ideology or its pseudolegal theories, or with any person, group or network promoting them — including Dezi Freeman and the Porepunkah police shootings, which we condemn without reservation.
The sovereign in our name is the nation of Australia. We adhere to the laws of Australia, we do not look for shortcuts, and our only methods are elections, Parliament and the law. We are a party seeking a sovereign nation, free from foreign influence. Read the full statement →
