Hopetoun polywelder Ethann Sinclair has been announced as Pauline Hanson’s One Nation candidate for the Roe electorate.

At 27 years old, Sinclair says he is determined to bring a fresh perspective to Parliament, standing apart from the major parties and their past decisions.

“I don’t have to defend past mistakes like the major parties do,” he said. “I will be able to tell it as it is on the floor of Parliament and highlight the real issues facing people in Roe.”

Sinclair believes the biggest challenges for the electorate mirror those seen across Western Australia, including cost-of-living pressures, a struggling health system, and a severe housing shortage. However, he points to poor road infrastructure and concerns over the South Coast Marine Park as pressing local issues that need immediate attention.

“There has been a serious lack of investment from the major parties in Roe,” Sinclair said. “People are worried about the impact of the South Coast Marine Park on our way of life. We need to make sure decisions being made in Perth don’t hurt the livelihoods of regional communities.”

A Different Approach to Spending

Unlike traditional campaign promises that allocate specific spending commitments, Sinclair said One Nation WA would focus on reprioritising the budget.

“We’re the only party committed to abandoning pointless emissions targets, which will free up over $50 billion for real investments,” he said. “That means we can properly fund projects that have been neglected by Labor and the Liberals.”

A 10-Year Vision for Roe

Sinclair envisions a future where all Australians are united, rather than divided by political ideology or policy.

“I want a future where being Australian comes first,” he said. “We need to protect our unique way of life, maintain our freedoms, and ensure our communities remain safe for our children.”

For Sinclair, Roe is more than just an electorate—it is home.

“I love the southern ocean, I love the people in this part of the state,” he said. “There’s a great community spirit of mateship and helping each other, and that’s what being Australian is all about.”
