Candidate: COVICH, Dean
Libertarian Party WA

I was born and raised in Perth and have spent my entire life working here, actively engaging in a range of community activities. I've had the chance to participate in clubs, sporting events, and volunteer efforts, including time spent at Wanneroo Raceway and in sport shooting clubs. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the value of community and the need for meaningful involvement.

Over time, particularly during the challenges of the COVID period, I've come to realize how much we need change in the way things are being handled. The rising cost of living, the struggles of small businesses, and the erosion of our rights have highlighted how far we've fallen behind in areas like health, education, and law.

We live in a country rich in resources, but there is a growing disconnect between the potential we have and the reality we face. It's clear that our current direction isn’t working, and it's time to reconsider the approach. I believe in a government that prioritizes liberty and freedom, one that ensures individuals have the power to live their lives to the fullest without unnecessary interference. It’s time for a shift towards a government that is smaller, more efficient, and truly focused on protecting the rights of the people. I’m ready to be a voice for that change.
