The Wire

The WA election this Saturday looks to be all for the coalition to lose. But it’s a long 10% swing away for a WA Labor victory and the minor parties have everything to gain.

Voters aren’t buying Premier Barnett’s plan to privatise the power network to stave off state debt and many feel alienated by the major parties in general.

Enter One Nation. If they manage to take the Nationals seats that polling suggests, they may just win the balance of power.
