"I am loyal to the Liberal Party and have faith in its core value. But I could neither recognize nor accept a preference deal of such kind. I have no One Nation candidate in my electorate", said Lily Chen, the Liberal Candidate for Mirrabooka in the upcoming West Australia Election.


Lily is a migrant from China Mainland and married to a Muslim. She admitted the preference deal in WA Legislative Council between Liberal and One Nation embarrassed herself as both Asian and Muslim.

WA Liberal had confirmed to sell 51% of Western Power if re-elected for a third term in office and claimed electricity bills would not rise accordingly as concerned.

"Not like electricity sales in other states as South Australia and Victoria, Western Power will not be sold to overseas companies, Chinese in particular; the government, ALP-supported unions and public funds would be the majority stakeholders". Lily said.
