WA Labor Party Could Gain Both Houses Following Huge Lead in Election Polls
The Western Australian (WA) Labor Party appears to be on track for an unprecedented win in the upcoming March election after February Newspoll results, conducted by The Australian, showed the WA Labor Party with an unassailable lead.
The results released on Feb. 19 showed Labor had a 36 point lead over the WA Liberal Party in the two-party-preferred vote. In terms of primary votes, 59 percent of Western Australians also said they preferred the Labor state government. This is an increase from 42.2 percent in the 2017 elections.
Meanwhile, the Liberals only received 23 percent of the primary votes, decreasing from 31.2 percent in 2017. The Nationals, Greens and One Nation parties secured 2 percent, 8 percent, and 3 percent respectively, all dropping from their 2017 primary votes.

th February held across both our Sydney and Fremantle Campuses.
The Notre Dame community was delighted to welcome new students on campus for an introduction to university life and the opportunity to meet their peers before classes officially start.
Vice Chancellor Professor Francis Campbell said, “it was so wonderful to see the campus buzzing again with new students getting to know the University.”
“So many people worked so hard to make O Day such a success, in particular the Student Association. Olivia and her colleagues did such a wonderful job, also to Louise and Talia and all their colleagues across the University who organised the day and helped set it up. It was a great day enjoyed by all and showed UNDA at its best,” Professor Campbell said.
