The Cook Government was returned to power in March this year after obliterating the opposition at the Western Australian State Election.

The punters had voted, optimistic that this government would do the right thing, by all West Australians.

I recall the Premiers' first press conference when he said "we will through industry support the most vulnerable in our community".

Well, we're still waiting and there are no signs that this support is coming any time soon.

Now in their third term, this government has made no impact on the social determinants for our most vulnerable. Within the Aboriginal community, this is a generational opportunity lost by Cook and his Ministers – a Labor government no less – this misrepresented ideology - we don't need our hands held; we need a hand up.

The WA Government yields so much power in a state that has so much wealth. A state built on the blood, sweat and stolen wages of our First Nations forebears.

Why, when there have been consecutive budget surpluses, is the WA Government not addressing the unacceptable challenges continuously faced by our most vulnerable? Any government should understand that their ultimate success will be measured by the outcomes and positive impact left on their constituents.

We're not fooled by the nonsense responses from this government that they have invested 'x' amount of dollars to address the 'x, y and z' issues.

West Australians want accountability. As taxpayers, we expect a responsive and responsible government to prevail. Infrastructure overspends and blow outs are not the actions of a responsible government.

What is responsible, is to bring about positive change in the lives of the most disadvantaged in our society. There is little commitment to reform the space for Aboriginal People in WA and Closing the Gap is widening in this state, because this government remains un-committed to the strategy.

Put simply, the Cook Government has become renowned for being a leading spin doctor, and over time, this can only lead to their demise.

My advice to alternative parties would be to take this time to mobilise over the next four years, because the most vulnerable people in the WA community will be looking for change.

One final tip for Mr Cook and the Treasurer; there won't be too many homeless people clapping as they watch the supercars speed by at the Burswood racetrack.
