WEST Australian Labor has suffered its first casualty since the party's crushing federal defeat, with Sally Talbot retreating to the back bench.
Ms Talbot, opposition spokeswoman for child protection, disability services and mental health, announced late on Thursday she was stepping down from the front bench.
"Clearly people have made a judgment about the Labor Party," she said on social media.
"They have made a judgment that we do not reflect their values; that they do not value what Labor offers them; that they do not trust Labor to give them a better future.
"At its worst, Labor turns its back on the task of changing our culture and expressing our values.
"But at its best, Labor is a party full of true activists, hungry for change and tireless in our efforts to tell the Labor story."
Ms Talbot, a former president of the WA branch, said Labor needed to reconnect with the electorate and she could play a stronger part in rebuilding the party as a backbencher.
"Stepping down from the front bench will enable me to put all my energy into making our time in opposition as short as possible and helping to rebuild the community support and trust that will make our return to government a reality."
Labor's lowest primary vote in the country was in WA at a measly 29 per cent.
