Geography
South-eastern Western Australia. Roe covers southern parts of the Wheatbelt, and then stretches further east to also cover Esperance.
Redistribution
Roe expanded north, taking in the Cuballing, Kondinin, Kulin and Wickepin council areas from Central Wheatbelt.
History
The current seat of Roe was created in 2017, primarily as a successor to Wagin, which had existed since 1989, when it replaced Narrogin and Katanning-Roe. Narrogin had been created in 1950, when the original seat of Wagin was abolished. From the 1920s until today, the seats named Wagin and Narrogin have almost always been held by the Country and National parties.
There was also a previous seat of Roe which was primarily replaced by Eyre in 2008. Roe had a long history of being held by the Country/National parties until 1974, and again since 1989, but the seat in this area was won by the Liberal Party in 2005.
Nationals candidate Peter Rundle won Roe in 2017 and was re-elected in 2021.
- Marie O’Dea (Liberal)
