The 2021 Western Australian State Election is only 7 months away, so we begin the 222 day count down by looking at what will undoubtedly be one of the most hotly contested electorates in the State: the seat of Darling Range. Once a safe Liberal stronghold, Darling Range fell to the Labor party in the 2017 general election. One year later, voters were back at the polls after the Barry Urban saga forced a by-election which saw the seat return to the blue team.

With the electorate being the fastest growing in the State, and the third fastest growing nationally, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic seeing Premier Mark McGowan's personal approval rating skyrocket, it could go either way in Darling Range come March 2021.

Joining the discussion is Cr. Michelle Rich, President of the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale, to share with us what is on the Shire’s electoral wish list and the big ticket items and issues which will likely feature heavily in the election contest.
