BREAKING NEWS: An Important Motion Passes in WA Parliament

This is the very first time one of Maryka's motions has passed the House since her election last year - and we could not be more thrilled.

What this Motion Achieves
Back in 2020, the Joint Select Committee on Palliative Care in WA handed down 25 recommendations to improve palliative care access across our state, all of which the Government supported in principle. One of those recommendations, Recommendation 25, called for a parliamentary committee to monitor progress on implementation.

That committee was never established, and six years on, no one has ever properly checked whether the 25 recommendations were actually delivered.

Maryka's motion changes that.
It orders the Government to table a report by 10 November 2026 detailing the progress made on Recommendations 1 through 24, including what actions have been taken, what outcomes have been achieved, and honest reasons for anything left unimplemented. It also empowers the Standing Committee on Public Administration to monitor and report on any outstanding recommendations going forward.

And it was passed!

This motion passed on the voices, without a formal division. In practice, this means the Speaker of the House called for those in favour to say "aye" and those against to say "no."

The ayes carried it clearly, and no member called for a division, meaning no MP required their individual vote to be recorded. While it was not necessarily supported unanimously, not a single member disputed that the motion had passed. That is a genuine and meaningful win.

This is exactly why having an Australian Christians MP in Parliament matters so much.

A report on a critical issue that has sat idle for six years is now going to be delivered, because the one MP you elected last year refused to let it be forgotten. Further action will follow, and we will keep you updated every step of the way.

We want to say this plainly: we could never have achieved this without supporters like you. The 2025 election win, and every success that has followed it, exists because ordinary Western Australians believe in this movement and back it with their time, their prayers, and their resources in generosity.
