PRIME Minister Julia Gillard has congratulated West Australian Premier Colin Barnett for his government's re-election.
She also acknowledged WA Labor opposition leader Mark McGowan's hard-fought campaign.
The Liberals, who will once again form a coalition with the Nationals in WA, kept all of the 24 seats they won at the 2008 election and secured a further seven seats, with a few more still up for grabs.
"The Gillard government looks forward to continuing to work with the Barnett government on a range of important initiatives which will benefit the people of Western Australia and recognise the importance that WA plays to the national economy," the prime minister said in a statement on Sunday.
Earlier, Mr Barnett said the election result was clearly better news for federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott than for Ms Gillard.
But he said the campaign was fought largely on local issues.
"This was not an election about how people regarded the prime minister," he told reporters in Perth.
"Yes, federal issues were there as a factor but they were not the determining factor."
