WA election: Mark McGowan declares Labor will run a ‘centrist’ government after overwhelming win
Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan says “there is nothing to fear” about a new State Parliament dominated by a single party following Labor’s historic victory on Saturday night, which decimated the Liberals.
Key points:
- WA Premier Mark McGowan says Labor’s policies are “very centrist”
- He says the party’s “appeal to everyone” helped Labor secure victory
- Mr McGowan urged the national ALP to adopt a similar approach
Early results indicated Labor was on track to hold at least 52 of the Parliament’s 59 Lower House seats.
It is too early to know the exact makeup of the Upper House, with counting continuing.
But early results indicated Labor could be on track for the holy grail — a majority in both houses of Parliament.
