Division of Bullwinkel

Bullwinkel is a new division created by the 2024 redistribution. It consists of outer eastern suburbs of Perth formerly in the divsions of Burt, Canning, Hasluck and Swan, and some rural areas previously in Durack and O'Connor. The suburban areas are mostly middle-income and politically marginal. The rural areas are strongly Liberal (or at state level, National). At the 2022 election it would have been marginally Labor. But since Labor polled particuarly strongly in Western Australia in 2022 because of state issues relating to the COVID pandemic, this probably over-states Labor's position in the seat.
