ALP 10.1%
Incumbent MP
Tania Lawrence, since 2022.
Geography
Hasluck covers parts of north-eastern Perth, including the Bassendean council area and parts of the Bayswater and Swan council areas. Hasluck covers the suburbs of Bassendean, Brabham, Beechboro, Camboon, Ellenbrook, Noranda, Middle Swan and West Swan.
Redistribution
Hasluck underwent a significant change compared to the 2022 federal election, losing the rural east of the electorate (including Gidgegannup and Wooroloo) to the new seat of Bullwinkel, and expanding west to take in Beechboro, Kiara, Lockridge and Noranda from Cowan and also taking in Ashfield, Bassendean and Eden Hill from Perth. This turned Hasluck into a much more urban seat, and increased the Labor margin from 6.0% to 10.1%.
Hasluck was created for the 2001 election. It had a notional ALP margin of 2.6% and was won for Labor by Sharryn Jackson, with a small notional swing to the Liberals. At the next three elections, the sitting MP was defeated at every election.
A 3.6% swing to the Liberals in 2004 saw Jackson defeated by Stuart Henry. Jackson returned to contest the seat again in 2007 and regained the seat from Henry on a 3.1% swing.
In 2010, the Liberal candidate Ken Wyatt won the seat off Jackson with a 1.4% swing. Wyatt was re-elected three times, and retired in 2022.
Labor candidate Tania Lawrence won Hasluck in 2022.
Assessment
Hasluck has become much stronger for Labor following the redistribution, so Labor should retain the seat even if there is a swing back to the Liberal Party in this state.

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.
About Ken Wyatt, I recall he made a gaffe during the last election campaign saying that his ministerial salary of over $400,000 was not enough and should be increased. It ruffled some feathers. The ACTU ran a campaign against him because of this.
@votante he would of lost either way
