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,
The area 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, survived a
3.9% swing to Labor in 2016, and improved his majority in 2019. 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
an assistant minister in 2015 and a minister in 2018. Since May 2019 he has been Minister for Indigenous
Australians and a member of Cabinet. He is the first Indigenous Australian to be a federal minister.
The 2021 redistribution has removed some Labor territory around Kenwick, slightly increasing the
Liberal majority. Wyatt will be 70 in 2022 and may retire. If he does the seat will be at risk for the
Liberals. The Labor candidate is Tania Lawrence, a business owner and former senior policy adviser to the
WA Premier.
The state seats in this area produced huge swings to Labor at the 2021 state election. This was
entirely due to state issues and should not be taken as an indicator that similar results
can be expected in WA at a federal election. The Greens candidate is Brendan Sturcke, an Emergency Services Officer.
