Convincing win for WA Lib/Nats emerging

EARLY results from the West Australian election point to a convincing win for the Liberal/National coalition.

ABC election analyst Antony Green called the result in favour of the incumbents, as polling predicted, about one hour after counting began.

With 12.71 per cent of the votes tallied at 7.15pm WST, the Liberals accounted for 47 per cent of valid votes and the Nationals 10.04 per cent, compared to 30.43 per cent for Labor.

Labor's federal defence minister Stephen Smith said from the outset that it was going to be a tough night for Labor.

"If there is a swing on, it's a swing to the coalition, a swing to Colin Barnett," Mr Smith said.

"That means we'll lose seats and the question for us is what will be the extent of that."

Mr Smith acknowledged it was very tough to defeat a first term government, and had only happened twice in Australia's history.
