WEST Australian Labor leader Mark McGowan has been re-elected unopposed as the party’s leader following an embarrassing election defeat last month.
Mr McGowan was re-elected the leader at a caucus meeting on Tuesday where there were no challenges to any of the leadership team.
WA Labor will return to the state parliament next week with just 21 seats opposite a strengthened Liberal/National coalition.
Deputy leader Roger Cook, Labor leader in the Legislative Council Sue Ellery and deputy leader in the Legislative Council Kate Doust were also endorsed on Tuesday.
Mr McGowan said he was looking forward to leading the party to the 2017 election.
“The next four years will present a challenging course for our team,” he said.
“But we have the energy, experience and enthusiasm to work together to meet these challenges.”
WA Labor had a stable team that was ready to present an alternative government, Mr McGowan said.
