Hello.
I am honoured to be serving in the Western Australian Legislative Council as a Liberal member.
It is a privilege to represent the people of Western Australia and to contribute to shaping our state’s future. I am committed to listening to the community, standing up for families and small businesses, and ensuring government remains accountable, transparent and focused on practical outcomes.
My priorities include tackling the housing crisis, cutting red tape, and supporting policies that make it easier to live, work and raise a family in our state. I look forward to serving you in parliament and I welcome you to contact me with your feedback and ideas.

Hon Anthony Spagnolo MLC
Hon Anthony Spagnolo MLC is a Liberal member of the Western Australian Legislative Council. Raised in Perth’s south-east and now living in the Perth hills, he brings a blend of policy experience, private-sector know-how and a practical focus on solving problems that affect everyday life. Anthony studied at the University of Western Australia, graduating with commerce and arts degrees and later a postgraduate qualification in Asian studies. Prior to Parliament, he worked in public policy as a senior adviser in state and federal governments, including serving as a budget adviser to the former Australian Finance Minister during a period that spanned the return of the Commonwealth Budget to balance and the extraordinary fiscal response to COVID-19.
Before entering Parliament, Anthony worked in property and urban development, including at Stockland on major medium-density infill projects in Perth and then at Atlas Building on social and affordable housing. Those roles, alongside board service with a cultural and education charity, sharpened his interest in how planning, infrastructure and red tape interact with the housing market, and why better-designed neighbourhoods matter for families and small businesses.
Anthony’s electorate work is rooted in the former East Metropolitan Region, a diverse sweep of communities from Mount Lawley to the Darling Range that faces distinctive challenges: bushfire risk, ageing infrastructure and fair access to services. He is committed to being a strong local voice, advocating for safer, a better-planned urban environment, credible economic management and transparent government, including support for an independent parliamentary budget office to improve policy costings and public trust in government.
The grandson of Italian migrants, Anthony’s story is shaped by aspiration as well as opportunities created by previous generations for which immensely grateful for. He and his wife, Abigael, are raising two daughters, and that everyday family life keeps his focus on practical outcomes: a home you can afford, streets you can walk, and a state that rewards effort while looking after the vulnerable.
