Josh Wilson for Freo on Clubhouse

Description

Josh Wilson has been the Member for Fremantle since 2016 and he was appointed Shadow Assistant Minister for the Environment after the 2019 election.

Josh grew up in Fremantle and for more than a decade has made a significant leadership contribution through public and community service.

Josh’s Shadow Ministerial responsibilities are focused on the areas of waste and recycling, ocean protection, and national heritage. He is the Deputy Chair of the Standing Committee on the Environment and Energy, and is a member of both the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties and the Select Committee on Regional Australia. His committee work has included a focus on fair trade, broadband technology, energy policy, liquid fuel security, and biodiversity protection.

As a representative of the Fremantle electorate, Josh is focused on protecting and enhancing the things we share, such as universal healthcare, high-quality education, public amenity, our environment both land and sea, and key infrastructure (like the National Broadband Network, the Australian Marine Complex, Fremantle Port, and road, rail, and public transport). He believes that building inclusive prosperity will require a new focus on reducing inequality and creating high-quality jobs at a time when big challenges and transitions put our social and economic wellbeing at risk. This will only be possible if we protect our environment and make the shift to sustainability across the board.
