Live and on the ground from the varying WA party headquarters political reporter Ashleigh Gillon will share the latest developments from Labor HQ, alongside reporters Emily Evans at the Liberal HQ and Jonathan Lea at the Nationals HQ.
Political commentator Graham Richardson, Labor MP’s Josh Wilson and Madeleine King, former Howard government minister Ian Campbell and The Australian’s senior perth reporter Paul Garvey will also provide insights throughout the night.
At the Sky News Numbers Room, political presenter Tom Connell will also bring you the latest results with WA election data and instant reaction.
Sky News chief news anchor, Kieran Gilbert said: “With many expecting a historical Labor landslide for this election, the big questions will be whether McGowan’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic has been enough to secure Labor a rare double majority in both Houses, whether the Liberals will lose enough seats to be turfed out of the Opposition, and what would this mean federally for Scott Morrison ahead of the next election?
“Our leading political reporters and panel of experts will be here to answer all those questions live as every vote is counted.”
The website skynews.com.au/politics will also be updated on the 2021 WA Election as the day progresses.
