My seat.
It’s the WA equivalent of Blair in QLD – a Labor leaning seat despite a large rural-like demographic and slab of working class suburbs to add to the mix.
Like Blair it has a Green friendly part (Bassendean and Guildford) and would have parts friendly to One Nation (Midland, Upper Swan and small towns).
CG, as of this redistribution Hasluck becomes more urban and centred on the fast growing area of Ellenbrook. The semi rural parts have been transferred to the new seat of Bullwinkle.
You An, semi-rural areas I am referring to are surrounding farm areas from Ellenbrook that runs south and east past and over north of Midland.
Its mostly getting covered by new housing developments.

How popular was Ken Wyatt as a local member?
I’m curious as because like Katie Allen do reckon he dulled the anti-liberal swing in 2022.
Ken Wyatt was a well liked member he was seen hardworking and a well rounded MP but like a lot of moderate Liberal MPs got tied to the Morrison Govt and lost.
Ken Wyatt benefited from his popularity and favourable redistributions.
Tania Lawrence isn’t tbh a very well known MP if the seat was more marginal a Liberal could gain this seat. But this seat will become a safer seat based on the new boundaries unless its a 1996 or 2004 style Labor defeat.
I doubt the Libs will win this time around. But 2028 likely.
