The WA government has opened an office in Canberra designed to promote the state's interests — which Premier Roger Cook says are "unique" to the rest of the country.In Canberra to officially open what is called the "WA Hub", Mr Cook said it would "provide more support for Western Australian advocacy organisations".The hub itself is essentially an office that can be used as a meeting space or to "print documents".
"We want to make sure that we take every opportunity to promote the state and its unique perspective here in Canberra. She said she thought the hub was important to give WA "greater visibility in Canberra to influence the public policy and funding decisions being made that significantly impact the state".
"It's very difficult from more than 3,000 kilometres away to keep the profile of WA issues on the national agenda," he said at the time.
