The state government has already made pre-budget announcements on affordable housing solutions. Zoe Clarke and her husband Jake say they can't afford to have children or enter the housing market, despite both working full-time jobs in the richest state in Australia.

An expert in rock art has accused the WA government of burying elements of a report that shows current pollution levels in the state's north is degrading ancient rock art. Professor Benjamin Smith said the findings in the report itself were robust, but said they were not consistent with what had been detailed in the executive summary. He accused the government of writing the summary, and leaving key details out.
