About Dr Brian Walker MLC
General Practitioner, Member of the Legislative Council, and Leader of the Legalise Cannabis WA Party
WHY I SERVE
For my entire career as a GP, I saw the same story repeat: Good people suffering because of bad policy.
Patients denied pain relief because of outdated cannabis laws. Families crushed by healthcare costs. Communities ignored by politicians who don't listen.
I could keep treating symptoms, or I could fight to fix the system.
So in 2021, I ran for Parliament.
Now I'm your voice in the Legislative Council - still seeing patients every week, still fighting for the healthcare and reforms WA deserves.
Because the best way to heal communities is to change the laws that hurt them.
