On 28 February, the highly anticipated Treasurers’ debate brought together Western Australia’s Deputy Premier and Treasurer, Rita Saffioti, and Shadow Treasurer, Steve Martin, just days before the state election. Both political heavyweights shared their visions for WA’s economic future, addressing key issues like the cost-of-living crisis and economic diversification. This debate provided a crucial final opportunity for Ms. Saffioti and Mr. Martin to present their plans and make their case to voters on how they would lead the state’s economy in the next government term.
