As a Perthlet, I'm pretty happy overall. Only real disappointment is Canning; would have thought it's within Labor's grasp but currently looks like a 5% swing against Labor, even after sitting MP Andrew Hastie said we should give our mineral stockpiles to Trump to stop the tarriffs. Any Mandurah locals have some insight into the sentiment - is it the Keep The Sheep campaign maybe?

Its definitely gona be Keep the Sheep for part of it. I'm surprised it wasn't more of an issue in the end.

A friend, (not a farmer), at the start of the WA election campaign was getting hot under the collar about Labor's live export ban. I said to him, "this is a minority issue, its hardly going to touch the sides in terms of political issues."

I stand by that comment, but man, they're a noisy bloody minority! They certainly made me feel i's gona have to eat my words.

Durack has a 7% swing away from Labor (against the trend of the whole state), I think it's safe to say that Keep The Sheep was successful in regional areas. However it doesn't seem to have had much effect in the metro, aside from Canning if you include that.
