The Liberal Party is optimistic that it can make up ground in WA ahead of the 2025 federal and state elections as high-profile figures tour Perth this week. But does the party have what it takes to get voters over the line?
Shoppers in Perth may have been surprised to spot Peter Dutton in their local grocer milk aisle this week, as the Coalition tightens its focus on gaining ground in the west.
Mr Dutton , Deputy Leader Sussan Ley and Liberal Senator Slade Brockman walk into a local supermarket.WA voters were not on the Liberals' side in the 2022 Federal Election, which recorded a 10 per cent swing against the party.It also lost the affluent western suburbs seat of Curtin, with Independent Kate Chaney elected over Celia Hammond, who previously enjoyed a margin of almost 14 per cent.
Despite being heckled by protesters in the town, Mr Dutton said he was generally pleased with the reception the Federal Liberals had received while in WA."We want to get this great state pumping even more than it is now, and our country performs best when WA is doing well. Former WA Premier Colin Barnett believes there will be a swing to the Liberals in WA at a national and state level in next year's elections."You are going to see a swing to Western Australia at the federal election and the state election. How big they are, no one knows," he said.
