History
The seat of Mandurah has existed since 1983. The seat has swung back and forth between the parties, with a Liberal period from 1989 to 2001 dividing two periods of Labor holding the seat.
Mandurah was first won in 1983 by Labor candidate John Read. Read was re-elected in 1986.
Liberal candidate Roger Nicholls defeated Read in 1989. Nicholls joined the Liberal frontbench in 1990 and after winning a second term in 1993 he became a minister in the new government. He stepped down from the ministry in 1997.
Labor’s David Templeman defeated Nicholls in 2001. Templeman has been re-elected four times.
