Liberal leader Troy Buswell has announced the shadow cabinet he will be taking to the coming election.
"Pound for pound we can take the fight to the government, hold it to account and prove we are a credible and desirable alternative government," Mr Buswell said.
"To date we have been doing good work holding the government to account, but we will be stepping up our bid for office.
"It is worth noting that we have an experienced doctor with responsibility for the health portfolio and in the portfolios covering law and order issues we have a former DPP Senior Prosecutor in Christian Porter and a former Police Sergeant with decades of experience in Murray Cowper leading the charge.
"With these and my other Shadow Cabinet members we have an impressive team.
"The Carpenter Government has failed Western Australian families and businesses in many areas. My team and I will pursue them at every turn and outline a credible alternate vision for the State."
Changes to the Shadow Cabinet:
- John Castrilli has been promoted into the Shadow Cabinet, taking on Employment Protection on top of his South West portfolio.
- Robyn McSweeney will take on the Environment and Climate Change portfolio in addition to Child Protection, Communities, and Heritage.
- Murray Cowper will take Responsibility for the Police, Community and Road Safety, Corrective Services and Emergency Services.
