The countdown to election day is on and Matt Taylor MLA's campaign in Bicton is in top gear. A hearty breakfast this morning cooked by experienced party member Loralie gave fellow EDO Lachlan Brennan (QLD) and myself the energy for a day's worth of letterboxing, sign waving and polling booth preparing. Bicton is set to now be a marginal seat and every effort counts.
As EDO participants start arriving in Western Australia for the final push, we stated the day with a campaign rally in Burns Beach with Premier Colin Barnett, Deputy Premier Liza Harvey and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop. The Premier reiterated the Government's positive achievements and the risk of Labor.
The fight for the northern suburbs seats of Joondalup and Burns Beach has really been heating up in this final weekend of the campaign. For the Barnett Government to hold onto majority we must hold these two seats. Jan Norberger MP and Albert Jacob MP both have excellent records as local MPs and highly dedicated and organised volunteer teams behind them - this combination is going to make it very challenging for Labor to take the seats.
