Labor Party wins historic third term in Western Australia
The Labor Party in Western Australia has achieved a historic third consecutive term in government, securing around 40 seats in the state election despite a significant drop in their overall vote share compared to the previous election. Premier Roger Cook emphasized the party's focus on financial management and community trust amid rising concerns over living costs and housing. The opposition Liberal Party failed to capitalize on expected voter discontent, only increasing their share to five seats, while the Nationals secured four. This election outcome is seen as a morale booster for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who is preparing for a national election due by mid-May. Labor's win reflects its strong grip on the resource-rich state, even as challenges persist at the national level regarding economic pressures. Overall, around 25% of the vote went to independents and other parties, indicating a shift in voter sentiment away from traditional party lines.
