Premier makes a surprise announcement | Authorities investigate claims of Perth restaurant family poisoning

Something pretty special happened on ABC Radio Perth's Breakfast program this week. WA Premier Roger Cook gave us half a million reasons to smile, handing over a cheque for $500,000!

On July 1, we officially launched ABC Radio Perth's ‘Stationery Stash’ campaign, teaming up with Give Write WA to provide school students with the tools they need to learn.

The next day, Premier Cook ramped things up very quickly, with the surprise donation from the WA government. Such is the importance of education to a child’s future, that the Premier was moved to help - in a very big way - and we are very grateful.

But the campaign doesn’t end there. For the month of July, we need your help - with donations of stationery supplies to help struggling families. These donations also mean that teachers won’t have to dip into their own pockets to provide classroom essentials to their students.

As always, thank you for your support and keep listening to Breakfast on 720 ABC Perth for more information about how you can help our Stationery Stash.
