Esperance, Wheatbelt electorate of Roe faces worker and water shortages
Liberal Party election campaigns are generally underpinned by the promise of more jobs.
Key points:
- The seat of Roe is among the few statewide that is expected to remain conservative after WA goes to the polls
- The odds strongly favour incumbent National Party MP Peter Rundle
- Community leaders believe worker shortages and water security will be front of mind for many voters
But for Roe candidate David Dwyer finding ways to fill existing jobs is a higher priority.
“From Esperance to Narrogin, to Kojonup and all the way back, when I’ve talked with employers the real issue they have is that they can’t get employees,” he said.
The seat of Roe covers the southern Wheatbelt through to Esperance and is the fifth largest electorate in the state.
