"The work starts now for each of the Ministers. Despite our State's success, there will always be challenges and issues confronting Western Australians across all portfolio areas.
"I'm very confident we have a strong team, with a breadth of experience that will work hard every day to govern in the interests of all Western Australians.
"We put up a strong agenda for our next four years and will work tirelessly to deliver on our commitments for the State right across WA.
"As we begin our second term, my Government will continue to be responsible, stable, disciplined and focused on keeping Western Australia strong."
