Division of Moore
Moore was created in 1949, as a rural seat occupying the northern half of the Wheat Belt. On these boundaries it was a
safe non-Labor seat, changing hands between the Liberal and Country parties. In 1980 it was changed into a part-rural,
part-suburban seat on the northern fringes of Perth, and became politically marginal. In 1990 it was changed again
into a suburban seat, along the northern beachside suburbs of Perth. It is now a classic mortgage belt seat, with
high levels of families with dependent children and wellings being purchased, though it is more affluent than most
seats of this type. It also has the highest proportion of people born in the UK of any seat: one-fifth of the voters
are British-born. All these factors make Moore a fairly safe Liberal seat on the current boundaries.
Dr Malcolm Washer won Moore for the Liberals in 1998, defeating
Paul Filing, the former Liberal member who had lost
his Liberal preselection in 1996 but retained the seat as an independent. Washer spent 15 years on the backbench,
but became a respected figure and a dissident on some issues. He retired in 2013.
Ian Goodenough, Liberal MP for Moore since 2013, is an accountant and was a company director before his election.
He was also a member of Wanneroo City Council. He was born in Singpore of Chinese and English ancestry. Local Liberals
tried to dump him in 2018 but he was saved by prime ministerial intervention.
The 2021 redistribution has extended the seat to the south, into territory which was formerly in the
abolished seat of
Stirling,
slightly reducing the Liberal majority. The Labor candidate is Tom French, an electrician. The Greens candidate in
Mark Cooper, a postgraduate student.
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.
