Ms Dickmann said the Greens were the only party, aside from a single-issue party, to actively work to improve the welfare of all animals.
“Just recently, Ms McLaren threw her weight behind Labor’s proposal for the outer harbour in Cockburn Sound,” Ms Dickmann said.
“Even though it had been discussed by the Greens for the past two years, there were questions about the Greens WA position, possibly due to environmental concerns, but Lynn has ascertained that these appear to be manageable.

Ms Dickmann lives outside the electorate in Beaconsfield and attended Applecross Senior High School. She grew up in Mt Pleasant.

“Just a kinder world is what I’m looking for,” she said.
