Labor would be glad to hold all 3 seats after a 4 elections in a row of loses brand buckled the trend holding on at a below average swing. Perth and freemantle held on returning labor the earlier electing a new mp Alana mate reman succeeding Stephen smith
The record of the first reelected indigenous member ken Wyatt in haslack. Pearce was a rare swing to labor however it was more to do with no liberal incumbent retired the rural contests made interesting o’connor went back to the libs while durack survived a nats swing to be held this leaves the wa nats one step worse than kap’s qld campaign in seats. The senate isn’t determined what caused it was two pairs of candidates being close with missing votes meaning that the last results aren’t determined the loser may be Linda Reynolds the lib elected from third who will have to probabally hope for preferences a loss of a seat will be big in the crazy senate the facts are that a core 3 left 3 right result is hard but possible although Scott Ludlum won’t have the hardest job with Wayne droop itch the underdog no chance for katter but this will be too watch.
House result alp 3 lib 12
