WA attorney-general and transport minister figures appear at media events in Secret Harbour over the weekend, while Labor’s byelection candidate Georgia Tree is kept from speaking to journalists. Multiple outlets report that Tree, the Australian Labor Party’s candidate for the Secret Harbour byelection, was not allowed to address reporters during at least two separate media events held within the electorate. The reports focus on the contrast between Tree’s exclusion from the question-and-answer or remarks portion of the events and the attendance or participation of senior government ministers, who speak at the same engagements. The coverage indicates that the restriction applies specifically to Tree’s ability to speak to journalists during those events. The outlets do not provide detailed explanation in the excerpts provided for the decision or who imposed the limitation. Overall, the reporting frames the situation as a dispute over access for the candidate to the media during local campaign events.
