Fremantle

Mark Staer - Australian Christians (AC)

Policy Source: There are 9 policy areas listed on the party's website with no obvious way to pick the main ones, but most can be folded into their broadest policy heading of 'Social Policies'. Three others remain: 'Environment and Climate' and 'Economy' which are long enough to deserve description below and their 'Religious Freedom' policy which is summarised in this one-page document they provide.
Policy 1: Social Policies. On the topic of family, the AC believes marriage should be between a man and a woman and supports adoption only by heterosexual couples, mentoring programs for men and boys without fathers, pre-marriage education for all couples, perjury laws to be applied to the Family Court, declassifying 'economic abuse' as a criminal offence. They oppose the introduction of voluntary euthanasia, abortion and IVF outside of heterosexual marriage. The party opposes the Safe Schools program, wants the national curriculum to be developed by stakeholders and supports the inclusion of Australia’s Christian heritage in the curriculum. It supports medical uses of cannabis but not recreational use. They oppose the inclusion of home ownership in the means testing of pensions, wants pensions to be indexed by a measure other than CPI and supports fully funding the NDIS. The party opposes prostitution but believes punishment should fall on the clients of sex workers rather than sex workers themselves, and ISP filters on pornographic material by default in Australia.
Policy 2: Environment and Climate. This party does not believe there is sufficient evidence for human-caused climate change and opposes any form of taxation or other burdens to this end, but supports "sensible pollution controls that do not unnecessarily and excessively burden businesses and increase the cost of living". This position heads all of their policies on the environment, be that generally, carbon taxation specifically, and even water management. These policies then all provide the '10 key aims' of their subsequent policies: recognition of pollution harms and adapting [sic] evidence-based solutions; land use management geared towards environmental sustainability; protecting natural biodiversity; ensuring air and water quality; managing vegetation and soil quality for agricultural sustainability; improving waste management; protecting coasts and rivers; ensuring sustainable resource development; balanced and sustainable consumption; promoting energy and resource production without favour to any approach.
Policy 3: Economy. The AC opposes keeping the minimum wage as high as it currently is, increasing taxes on businesses or implementing greater employment regulation (particularly in child care). They support income splitting for single-income families and the establishment of specialist banks for small and medium businesses.

Darinda Cox - The Greens (GRN)

Policy Source: Conveniently, the Greens have released specific policies for the WA by-elections in Fremantle and Perth. There are three policies from their general platform--'Ending Corporate Influence', 'World Class Social Services' and 'A Future For All Of Us'--and two other policies specifically released during WA by-election season--'Beyond Waste' and 'Getting Big Money Out Of Politics'. The latter are used as main policies below. Ignoring 'Ending Corporate Influence' as being synonymous with 'Getting Big Money Out Of Politics', the other two policies 'World Class Social Services' and 'A Future For All Of Us' are discussed as the third policy for Perth and Freemantle respectively, decided by a coin flip. Voters in either seat would do well to read both summaries.
Policy 1: Beyond Waste. The Greens' waste management policy is set out over four steps: investment in resource recovery (i.e. recycling) initiatives including through community grants, ending federal funding for waste incineration, phasing out single-use plastic products and introducing mandatory schemes to encourage the manufacture of recyclable products.
Policy 2: Getting Big Money Out Of Politics. The Greens' plan to limit the monetary influence of politicians is two-pronged: first by introducing a $30 carbon price on major polluters and removing fossil fuel subsidies which they argue encourage pollution thanks to the influence of the fossil fuel lobby, and secondly by banning political donations from mining, development, tobacco and alcohol industries, capping all other donations and demanding all donations over $1000 are reported to the public. Their ending corporate influence policy also mentions making corporations pay their 'fair share' of tax, opposing a corporate tax cut from 30% to 25%, and establishing a government-backed People’s Bank.
Policy 3: A Future For All Of Us. The party also wishes to: establish treaties with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, change the date of Australia Day, establish a Federal Multicultural Act, end off-shore detention and close Manus and Nauru, encourage new meat processing facilities to create jobs and prevent live export, and make WA's electricity 100% renewable by 2030.

Katrina Love - Animal Justice Party (AJP)

Policy Source: The AJP is a single-issue party, with all the risks that entails when unrelated legislation is before parliament. At times they have been referred to as extreme, for example in their push for vegetarian or vegan diets. A summary of their political positions on animal welfare can be found in my previous summaries (see Group K), but for Ms Love's specific interests I have singled out three projects she has been involved with according to her bio.
Project 1: "Katrina is also the Campaign Manager for ... Stop Live Exports, and has been involved in that campaign for 12 years, and is a very active animal advocate and activist."
Project 2: "She [Ms Love] was actively involved in the WA No Shark Cull movement which saw the Barnett government shelve plans to trial lethal shark drum lines off Perth and South West beaches for three years."
Project 3: The candidate also contributes at the Happy Hooves Farm Sanctuary, which is more or less exactly what it sounds like but you can read more about here if you wish.

Josh Wilson - Australian Labor Party (ALP)

Policy Source: There are plenty of posts on the ABC-linked Facebook page, but I am finding more and more the best way to narrow down the actual promises of the major parties is to go to the photos section and look for graphics like these. These are the four images I could find, and without an NBN policy on the ALP website, I have used the other three below. Further details, where available, are provided from the national ALP campaigns page.
Policy 1: Penalty Rates. The cut to penalty rates for hospitality, retail and fast food workers is not supported by the ALP, and currently, the party promises to reverse these reductions.
Policy 2: TAFE and apprenticeships. According to the posted graphic, Labor will waive upfront fees for 100,000 TAFE places, and the ALP website adds that Labor will guarantee TAFE funding, employ apprentices as one in ten employees on priority government infrastructure projects and Labor will crack down on the abuse of 457 visas by big business and ensure jobs are advertised in Australia first.
Policy 3: Hospitals. Labor is arguing against what they calculate to be $715 million in cuts to hospitals nationally from 2017 to 2020. Locally, Mr Wilson has announced Labor will invest $5 million to establish an urgent care clinic at the Fremantle hospital.

John Gray - Liberal Democrats (LDP)

Policy Source: Following my approach in Braddon, I have deviated from the ABC's link and policy topics are taken from the LibDem's bio for John Gray. Five policy areas are listed as Mr Gray's areas of interest. One is 'Getting a fair GST return for WA' which seems inconsistent with the LibDem policy of stop the federal government giving any GST revenue with the states. Another, 'Lowering the cost of living', is a broad aim scattered throughout various party policies. The other three are easier to summarise and are dealt with below. Policy detail is taken from the LibDem policy pages.
Policy 1: Reduced regulation of business. The party argues for the immediate deregulation of the taxi industry; removal of licensing and certification for various industries including auctioneers, hairdressers, bar workers and casino workers; deregulation of retail trading hours, gambling and poker machines, liquor licensing, radio and television broadcast licensing and workers compensation insurance.
The party also wants the immediate privatisation of the NBN, ABC, SBS, Australia Post, electricity and public transport, with TAFE, universities, schools and hospitals to follow.
Policy 2: Legalising cannabis. The party supports the legalisation of cultivation, processing, possession, transport and sale of recreational cannabis, medicinal cannabis and cannabis products while supporting limits on selling cannabis to minors or driving while impaired by cannabis use.
Policy 3: Legalising euthanasia. The LibDems support the right to euthanasia, the decriminalisation of assisting a person to die, and the right to access information about euthanasia "provided there are appropriate safety mechanisms to ensure consent is given freely and confirmed."

James Harfouche - Australian People's Party (APP)

Policy Source: The party's policy page has several policies to sort through, so I have taken the two most expansively discussed as the "main platforms", along with the policy that university education should be free which is emphasised in Mr Harfouche's party profile.
Policy 1: Taxation. This party wants to end tax deductions for work expenses*, increase the tax-free threshold, replace tax offsets for carers and people with disabilities with a payment, remove the beneficiary tax offset, reduce marginal tax rates, simplify GST and expand it to financial services, a 20% corporate tax rate with very few possible deductions; tax on all foreign businesses selling to Australians, and a 50% tax on property sales by foreign investors.
Policy 2: Immigration. The APP wants to reduce immigration for a 5-year period by: reducing visa numbers; abolishing temporary skilled migration; relying on temporary protection visas for refugees and repatriating them when it is safe to do so; providing visas for migrants to settle and remain in regional centres for 5 years; deporting all illegal immigrants; requiring family-sponsored immigrants of working age to have full-time employment for 5 years and not rely on welfare payments, with minors to be supported by family sponsors; and requiring immigrants to live here for 5 years, speak English and receive no convictions before seeking citizenship.
Policy 3: Education. The APP policy on education, as set out on the party website is, in full:

• Australian born school and university students will receive free education. Foreign students will pay fees
• Emphasis on literacy and numeracy in all government schools. Ensure year levels, student age of entry and curriculum is uniform across the nation
• Fund TAFE system to provide Australia with skilled workers

*The exact wording of this policy is "allow no work-related deductions". Though purely speculative, it is possible this should read "allow non-work-related deductions" which has the opposite effect of expanding rather than restricting tax deductions.

Jason Spanbroek - Independent (IND)

Policy Source: This image is the closest thing to a policy document I could find for Mr Spanbroek. Policies have been sorted into three categories below.
Policy 1: Traffic. Mr Spanbroek promises to 'activate the Coogee corridor' with a modern and sustainable transport solution, develop a long-term solution to congestion and oppose vehicle congestion charging.
Policy 2: Clean up the streets. I cannot say if this is intended as a literal anti-litter policy or a tough-on-crime metaphor, having been to Fremantle only once and not noticing either pollution or street crime to be particularly common. Either way, this promise is supposed to make the streets "safe and prosperous again."
Policy 3: Harbour development. The candidate opposes Chinese-owned development at Kwinana but recognises the need for a sustainable and publically owned expansion of Fremantle Port and improvements to the passenger terminal.
