Labor premier Carpenter faces WA polls in two days

One day after the Liberals in Western Australia recycled Colin Barnett as their fourth leader in four years, Labor premier Alan Carpenter called one of the earliest elections in Western Australia's history. Voters decide on Saturday whether to return State Labor for a historic third term, or to deliver the first chink in the wall-to-wall federal, state and territory Labor governments that currently rule Australia.
