00:00A major milestone for families as school returns and for the government as the election campaign
00:14formally begins.
00:17The starter's pistol officially fired with a signature from the Governor locking in a
00:21March 8 election.
00:23Labor staying focused on families promising more than $650 million for a handful of new
00:28schools and upgrades to existing sites.
00:3150% of our schools are over 50 years old.
00:34It's important that they are renovated and we're doing that in a logical, rational manner.
00:40While the Liberals honed in on health, pledging $24 million to offer chemo at home for public
00:45hospital patients and expand hospital in the home programs.
00:49It's about providing more options for WA patients and providing chemotherapy in a home environment
00:57the comfort of home, surrounded by loved ones, as well as reducing the risks of infection.
01:04Even before the election officially kicked off inside Government House, the gloves were
01:09already coming off, the Premier ramping up his rhetoric against his opponents.
01:13WA might have the strongest economy in the nation, but we have the laziest Liberals in
01:18the nation and WA cannot risk the WA Liberals.
01:24Also not shying away from Labor protesting the campaign launch of star candidate Basil
01:29Zemplis, although he says he didn't know what was happening.
01:32This is an election campaign, right?
01:34There will be a bit of rough and tumble.
01:36I'm not focused on political point scoring, I'm focused on a better future for Western
01:41Australians, on health, on housing, on cost of living, on law and order.
01:46Issues certain to dominate the next month of campaigning.
