Colin Barnett says work is underway to meet the remaining election pledges as soon as possible. (ABC)

The West Australian Premier, Colin Barnett, says he has not broken any pre-election promises despite failing to meet a self imposed deadline to implement key party policies.

 

On the eve of the September state election, the Liberals released a 45 point plan outlining action they would take in the first 100 days in office if elected.

 

The plan included repealing Labor's cannabis laws and introducing legislation for fixed parliamentary terms.

 

Mr Barnett admits one in six of those promises have not been achieved within the timeframe.

 

Labor's Roger Cook says Mr Barnett owes the electorate an apology.

 

The Premier says he will not be apologising as work is underway to meet the remaining targets as soon as possible.
