00:02New suburbs like this are dotted across Secret Harbour, the electorate running between Rockingham and Mandurah.
00:09So that growth will put pressure on a lot of our community facilities but also on public transport, roads, hospitals
00:17and schools too.
00:18It's why the local council is hoping a by-election to replace retiring cabinet minister Paul Papalia could bring a
00:24few sweeteners,
00:25especially as work associated with the AUKUS Submarine Pact ramps up.
00:30What we would like to see is more investment and unlocking of industrial supply type land so that people can
00:36live and work within Rockingham.
00:38A day on from the Labor stalwart's announcement, the parties have switched into campaign mode.
00:43The government framing its pitch around its $100 fuel support payment with more than 470,000 West Australians applying for
00:51the money within a week.
00:53My government is using the nation's strongest economy to deliver for WA families in tough global times.
01:00A line which will no doubt be repeated as Labor attempts to fend off a One Nation assault.
01:06A lot of the places where they're expected to do relatively well are on the outer suburbs of all the
01:11big cities.
01:11And Secret Harbour is about as outer as you can get in Perth.
01:15Another major issue is Karnap train station, which was meant to be built here, but was shelved in favour of
01:22building Lakeland station about five kilometres south.
01:25The government insists it's still committed to building a station here, but many of the locals I've spoken to say
01:32they feel let down.
01:34That promise hasn't been delivered.
01:35Their demand is there and in the future that's only going to intensify.
01:40Labor MPs will vote on a replacement minister on Friday when Paul Papalia is expected to formally resign from parliament.
