Rick Wilson says thank you to the people of O’Connor
Rick Wilson MP has thanked the people of O’Connor following his re-election as the Federal Member of O’Connor for a fifth consecutive term.
The Albany resident bucked the national trend with a 7.5% swing towards the Liberal party on two-party preferred voting.
“I thank the people of O’Connor for putting their faith in me to continue to fight for our region,” Mr Wilson said.
“It was heartening to see the swing towards me in the two-party preferred voting across the electorate.
“It serves as an indication to me that the issues I have been taking up in Canberra are the issues which resonate with our community.”
Mr Wilson was particularly encouraged by the strong results across the Collie region which saw a strong gain to the Liberal party.
“I was particularly heartened by the very strong results at the Collie booths, in particular a swing of 22.5% saw us win the Allanson booth for the first time in living memory,” he said.
“The clock is ticking now to 2029 and the people of Collie have recognised the challenges ahead for that community with Labor’s renewables-only energy policy.”
Mr Wilson thanked his army of volunteers who turned up to proudly fly the Liberal flag across six pre-poll booths and 115 polling stations on election day.
“While the national result is not what we would have hoped for, the Liberals in O’Connor can hold their heads high for delivering one of the best results for the Coalition across the nation,” he said.
“I am looking forward to continuing to represent the O’Connor community, drive outcomes for our region and hold the Albanese government to account.”
