From www.pollbludger.net: The Western Australian election campaign, one week from voting, faces challenges as Liberal candidate Thomas Brough raises controversial topics like abortion laws, which his leader prefers to avoid.

A recent leaders’ debate sees Libby Mettam performing better than expected against Labor’s Roger Cook, despite conflicting assessments of their performances. E

arly voting shows unconvincing results, with a straw poll suggesting that 49% of early voters from specific seats favoured the Liberals, yet this may not indicate a strong overall electoral outcome.
