安東尼‧阿巴尼斯（Anthony Albanese）在數週內第二次回到西澳州，以大灑金錢的競選承諾招攬選民，因為各主要政黨都把重點放在這個關鍵的戰場州。
總理宣布，如果當選，將投入3.5億澳元拓寬Kwinana高速公路，以紓緩通勤者的擠塞問題，西澳工黨承諾將匹配總額達7億澳元的資金。
反對黨領袖Peter Dutton後來表示，如果聯盟贏得執政，將匹配該承諾。
Albanese周一訪問了西澳州，這是他在1月初旋風式突擊之後再次訪問西澳州。
聯邦選舉必須在5月17日之前舉行，一項新的民意調查顯示，總理的支持率繼續下滑。
最新的 Newspoll 調查顯示，53% 的選民認為反對黨將在選舉中獲勝，無論是以其本身的權利還是作為少數黨，而工黨的支持率為 47%。
在兩黨傾向基礎上，聯盟對政府的領先優勢擴大到 51-49%，比上次民調上升了一個百分點。
總理表示，他的政府是為了所有澳洲人的利益而執政，並正在建設國家的未來。
「他對記者說：「會有民調，評論員也會評論這些民調，當然，我的理解是，我不會把選舉勝利視為理所當然。
「我們每天都在努力工作和奮鬥，不是因為誰開著掛有國旗的汽車重要，因為重要的是政府為人民做了什麼，為我們國家的未來做了什麼」。
工黨將對西澳爭奪最激烈的摩爾（Moore）議席虎視眈眈，該議席由自由黨以0.9%的差距把持。
Moore 州議員 Ian Goodenough 在聯邦議席預選競選中失利，將以獨立議員身份參選。
Albanese先生指出，西澳州是未來的經濟重鎮。
「他說：」西澳州作為國家經濟的引擎室之一，將繼續在推動國家經濟增長方面發揮如此關鍵的作用。
Dutton 先生也在西澳州，因為聯盟正努力鞏固其席位，同時嘗試從獨立議員 Kate Chaney 手中奪回 Curtin 選區。
Anthony Albanese is back in Western Australia for the second time in weeks, wooing voters with big-spending election pledges as the major parties hone in on the key battleground state.
The Prime Minister announced $350 million to widen the Kwinana Freeway if elected in a bid to ease congestion for commuters, with WA Labor promising to match the funding for a total of $700 million.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton later said the coalition would match the pledge if it wins government.
Mr Albanese visited WA on Monday, returning to the state after he embarked on a whirlwind blitz earlier in January.
A Federal election must be held by May 17 and a new poll shows the Prime Minister’s approval ratings continue to slide.
The latest Newspoll revealed 53 per cent of voters thought the opposition would win at the election, in its own right or as a minority, compared to 47 per cent for Labor.
The Coalition has increased its lead on the Government on a two-party preferred basis to 51-49 per cent, a rise of one percentage point compared to the previous poll.
The Prime Minister said his Government was governing in the interests of all Australians and was building the nation’s future.
“There’ll be polls and the commentators will commentate on them, and certainly, what I understand is I don’t take election wins for granted,” he told reporters.
“We are working hard and fighting hard every day, not because it matters who drives the car with the flag on it, because what matters is what governments do for people and what they do for our country’s future.”
Labor will be eyeing off Moore, which is WA’s most hotly contested seat and held by the Liberal Party on a 0.9 per cent margin.
Moore MP Ian Goodenough lost a preselection contest for his federal seat and will run as an independent.
Mr Albanese pointed to the State as a future economic powerhouse.
“Western Australia will continue to be such a key role in driving national economic growth as one of the engine rooms of our national economy,” he said.
Mr Dutton is also in Western Australia as the coalition seeks to hang onto its seats, while trying win back the electorate of Curtin from independent MP Kate Chaney.
