If we are to see Western Australia move forward we need to start rethinking about energy and jobs. One of the questions that I always ask on this podcast is what is the biggest problem facing Western Australia? And the answer more often than not is energy. Whether its energy from how it is going to affect our jobs and revenue in the future or energy in keeping the lights on in Western Australia. Energy is a bigger problem than what most of us realise.

On the podcast today we have Senator Ben Small. Ben is currently representing Western Australia in Canberra representing the liberal party and was chosen by the liberal party to fill a casual vacancy following Mathias Cormann’s resignation. With Ben’s position in politics, representing Western Australia he would be the best person to start a discussion around how and why we should be rethinking Western Australia’s energy and jobs. 

If you are interested in the energy market in Western Australia be it as a source of jobs, revenue for the state or Western Australia not being able to produce enough energy to keep the lights on then this is an episode that you will enjoy listening to.
