WA election: Labor sweeps to power

Western Australia Premier-elect, Mark McGowan, has promised to get straight to work after leading Labor to one of the state's biggest election victories. Voters have thrown out the two-term government of Liberal Premier Colin Barnett overwhelmingly turning to Labor, which may end up with as many as 41 MPs in the 59-seat lower house of the parliament. The size of the loss has surprised the Liberals with at least three Liberal ministers losing their seats.
