Résumé détaillé

A Perth doctor who lent the family of WA Labor MP Jagadish Krishnan $300,000 pleaded with the parliamentarian for almost three years to pay back the outstanding loan.

A Perth doctor who lent the family of WA Labor MP Jagadish Krishnan $300,000 pleaded with the parliamentarian for almost three years to pay back the outstanding loan so that he could use it to fund his daughter’s disability support services.

This masthead has obtained a contract from December 2023, which shows the sum being loaned by the doctor – who asked to not be identified due to his family’s personal circumstances – to the Krishnan family.

Subsequent emails, seen by WAtoday and 9News, show the doctor and his wife pleading with Krishnan to repay the money, with the outstanding amount causing their family “immense distress”.

“Myself and my wife already have to go through stress on a daily basis because of our daughter’s disability,” an email from the doctor to Krishnan from May 2025 read.

“On top of this, the money issue has added to the distress and we are not able to sleep peacefully.

“You said yes 100% will return in 1 month max. But it’s been 1 year and 1 month now and I haven’t got the money back yet,” the email claims.

In reply emails, Krishnan repeatedly promised to pay back the sum, which currently remains unpaid.

The WA Labor MP has not responded to multiple requests for a response from 9News and WAtoday.

The freshly revealed contract adds to concern already surrounding Krishnan’s financial dealings.
