Division of Hasluck
Hasluck was created at the 2001 redistribution, in Perth's fast-growing outer eastern suburbs.
Although it has the high proportion of dwellings being purchased typical of outer suburban seats,
it has a lower rate of families with dependent children than is usual for such seats, and cannot
be classed as a pure mortgage belt seat as a result. It has a low proportion of non English
speaking households, and a very low proportion of people in professional and managerial occupations.
The Labor vote in concentrated in the Midland area, in the north of the suburban part of the seat,
and around Kenwick and Maddington to the south. The area between, around Kalamunda, is heavily Liberal,
as are the semi-rural areas around Mundaring added by the 2016 redistribution, which substantially
improved the seat for the Liberals.
Ken Wyatt, Liberal MP for Hasluck since 2010, is the first member to win the seat at two successive
elections. He defeated Labor's Sharryn Jackson in 2010, increased his majority in 2013, amd survived a
3.9% swing to Labor in 2016. He was originally a teacher, then became manager of Aboriginal Education
in the WA Department of Education. He was later Director of Aboriginal Health in both NSW and WA.
He was the first Indigenous person to win a seat in the House of Representatives. He was appointed
Assistant Minister for Health in 2015 and became Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care in
February 2016. In August 2018 he became Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care and Minister
for Indigenous Health. He is the first Indigenous Australian to be a federal minister.
In December 2017 Labor chose Lauren Palmer from the Maritime Workers Union as its Hasluck candidate,
but in July she withdrew for health reasons. Mundaring Shire Councillor James Martin is the new Labor
candidate. The Greens candidate is Lee-Ann Miles, a Kalamunda small-business owner. The Australian Christians
candidate, Brady Williams, is WA Registrar of the Australian Association for Religious Education.
