Christian Porter took a calculated risk when he quit as Western Australia's Treasurer to pursue a career in federal politics and he's not hedging his bets now.
Key points:- Christian Porter was a high-flying WA MP before moving to federal politics
- His safe seat of Pearce has become increasingly marginal in recent years
- The ALP, unions and GetUp have spent large amounts trying to unseat him
He says there is no plan B if this Saturday's election does not go his way.
"That whole exercise [of leaving state politics] was very heavy with risks of a whole range of types," Mr Porter said.
"It had occurred to me that federal politics is often very tough, particularly with very large seats, particularly with boundaries being re-drawn, so anyone who didn't want to have personal political risk would not have done that."

Scummo's little lying mate of the north shore...
robolink strikes again. get rid of unchristian porter...
A Sydney woman battling mental health issues has told how she is “surviving off the charity of friends and family” after an apparent Centrelink bungle left her with a $3,500 welfare debt and no income for more than two months.
Charlotte Coulter, 29, told Guardian Australia she was wrongly kicked off the $276.55-a-week Austudy payment in March because Centrelink failed to process a doctor’s certificate.
Of the $100 a fortnight her cash-strapped mother can afford to send her, Coulter, of Parramatta, is forced to pay $20 every two weeks to Centrelink despite having no formal income. She said she entered a payment plan out of fear that her case would be referred to a debt collector and is adamant she does not owe the money.
