Polling booths have opened across Western Australia for the 2025 state election, with many viewing the outcome as a key indicator for the upcoming federal election.
While experts do not anticipate a repeat of the previous Labor landslide, the party is still expected to secure victory. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had planned to campaign alongside WA Premier Roger Cook but remained in Canberra due to cyclone-related emergencies. The election is also drawing attention to high-profile candidates, including Basil Zempilas in Churchlands.
Voter turnout and early results will be closely watched for signs of broader political trends in Australia.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Here we go again with another rigged election in favor of Labor. The media keeps acting like this is some big moment, but we all know WA has been turned into a socialist stronghold thanks to years of government overreach. Albanese didn’t even bother showing up—probably because he knows Cook has this in the bag with all their union-backed support. Meanwhile, the Liberals keep putting up weak candidates who refuse to stand for real conservative values. If Australians don’t wake up soon, the whole country is going to end up like Victoria—completely controlled by the left.
No surprise here—Labor is expected to win again in WA, but that doesn’t mean voters are happy with them. The state has been hit hard by cost-of-living pressures, housing shortages, and crime, yet the same party that helped create these problems is still in power. If anything, this election should be a wake-up call for conservatives to step up and offer real solutions instead of letting Labor run the show unchallenged. Albanese skipping the campaign trail might be a sign that even he knows WA isn’t as solid for Labor as it used to be. Let’s see if voters are finally ready to push back or if they’ll just keep handing Labor a free pass.

Hoping WA voters stick with Labor—last thing we need is a shift toward conservatives when we’re finally making progress on climate and workers’ rights.
Another election, another round of politicians promising the world while expanding government power. WA voters should be asking themselves whether either major party is actually going to cut red tape, lower taxes, or protect individual freedoms—because history says they won’t. The real issue isn’t which party wins but how much control they keep taking from people’s lives. If Australians want real change, they should stop voting for more government and start demanding less of it.
