Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan claimed a landslide victory in Saturday’s election winning a second term.
As of latest available date, the final outcome prediction stands at 52 lower house seats for Labor, three for Liberals and four for Nationals.
But the ABC had called the election for Labor less than an hour after polls closed.
Taking to the stand shortly after Mr McGowan, who saw his personal approval rating sitting at a whopping 88% – attributed greatly to the hard border policy of the relatively COVID-free state – spoke of a “humbling experience”.
“The magnitude of what has happened today is not lost on me, but with it comes great responsibility,” he said.
