WA Election 2025: Labor and Liberals Target Key Battlegrounds in Final Push

Campaigns focus on contested seats, funding disclosures, and policy debates ahead of Saturday's vote.

Labor has outpaced the Liberals in overall donations since July 2024, but the Liberals received the most contributions during the official campaign period, including significant support from the WA Shooting Association.
Climate 200, a group known for backing teal independents, has heavily funded Fremantle independent Kate Hulett, making her a standout among non-major party candidates.
Labor has invested heavily in social media advertising, targeting contested seats like Scarborough and Riverton, while the Liberals have focused on reclaiming traditional strongholds such as Churchlands and Nedlands.
Key campaign issues include health system challenges, with ambulance ramping reaching record highs, and debates over fiscal responsibility as both parties outline their spending and debt plans.
Labor's proposed $217 million motorsport precinct at Burswood Park has sparked criticism from the Liberals, who argue it is an unnecessary expense during a cost-of-living crisis.
