In Perth this morning, the mood was upbeat as WA federal Labor gathered to celebrate its sweeping results in the west.

At a media gathering near the Swan River, cheers erupted as the party celebrated maintaining all four of the seats it secured in 2022, with Moore joining the list.

Although he couldn’t vote, 66-year-old Donny McKenzie from Scotland said Labor’s victory was a win for “proper policies”.

“I think they [Liberals] still didn’t realise Mr Trump is a bully,” he said.

“It was evident that Mr. Trump was bound to fail. His policies, particularly the tariff assaults, are misguided and are only impoverishing everyone.”

McKenzie also said immigration has to be a key policy of any Australian government.

“After all, Australia started as immigrants, that’s what it’s all about,” he said.

For 34-year-old Tim Lapsley, the result reflected a broader message.

“It’s a rejection of the cultural politics the Liberals tried to push. People don’t want that,” he said.

“Labor now has a clear mandate. Housing needs real reform — not more money thrown at inflated prices.”

He also hoped Australia would “step up” on global issues.

“There should be more pressure on Israel to end the war — even if Australia’s power is limited, it still matters.”
