With the state election campaign starting to heat up, Nine Entertainment is leveraging its resources from 9 News, WAtoday, AFR, and 6PR to provide the WA community with comprehensive coverage of the election.

Running Mates is a new online show hosted by Conner McGovern, where a panel of respected WA reporters breaks down the policies and promises of all parties.

Perth Live host Oliver Petersen is part of the panel and spoke to his co-panelist Jesinta Burton from WAtoday about Labor’s most recent announcement blunder regarding Peel Health Campus.

“This announcement this morning kind of backfired because what I imagined Labor was hoping would be a pretty positive announcement for health quickly became a discussion about the lack of progress over the past 5 years,” she said.
