You're incorrect about the right losing no seats in mining-heavy Western Australia. In WA, the centre-right Liberals lost two seats to the centre-left Labor (Cowan and Burt). Furthermore, the two-party swing to Labor in WA was larger than in the rest of the nation, which is rare as WA is quite an inelastic state.
Burt and Cowan are not mining-heavy parts of WA, I do actually know what I'm talking about, and any plain text reading of my quote would not think winning Perth-based seats would contradict my point
