I have no direct insight into the politics of Western Australia (my allegiances lay with the greatest nation on earth, Queensland) but I can tell you that contrary to some reporting, the Labor vote in WA has been holding up.

‘Surprisingly so’ according to some Liberal strategists who have also seen that Anthony Albanese’s personal popularity in the state is holding up.

WA will go to the polls next month, which both major parties are looking at. But at this point in the election cycle, the WA Liberals aren’t seeing the vote correction they thought they would.

Less than a month out from the WA election and the state Liberal Party is on 3%. Let’s see if Gina Reinhart can deliver the same chalice to the Federal Liberals.
