Western Australia parties demand inquiry into election issues

Western Australia's political parties have united in a letter to Premier Roger Cook, demanding an inquiry into the management of the recent election. They cite issues like ballot shortages and poorly trained staff, calling for a bipartisan investigation. The recruitment firm PersolKelly, which managed election staff, disputes claims made in the letter, stating it is not responsible for the election's overall execution. The company insists it has not made political donations and is focused on completing the election count. The government has promised an independent investigation but prioritizes finishing the vote count first. PersolKelly is addressing payment issues for election staff and continues to support the counting process.
