Redistribution

History
The seat of Hillarys has existed since 1996. The seat had been won by the Liberal candidate at every election until 2021.
Hillarys was won by Liberal MP Rob Johnson, who had first been elected to parliament to represent Whitford in 1993. Johnson became a minister in the Liberal government in 1999, serving until the government’s defeat in 2001. Johnson was re-elected in 2001, 2005 and 2008, and became police minister after the 2008 election.
Johnson lost his ministry in a reshuffle in 2012, and was re-elected again in 2013. Johnson resigned from the Liberal Party in early 2016, after longstanding conflict with the premier, Colin Barnett.
Johnson ran as an independent in 2017, but lost to Liberal MLC Peter Katsambanis.
Katsambanis lost in 2021 to Labor candidate Caitlin Collins.
