Redistribution proposal: WA
Proposed boundaries for Western Australia include creation of a new electoral division centred on the Perth Hills region.
The new division is proposed to be named Bullwinkel in honour of Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel – an Australian nurse in World War II. The proposal recognises Vivian Bullwinkel’s dedication to honouring victims of war crimes, and her service to nursing, and the community, in both her civilian and military life.
All WA divisions will change with significant changes proposed for Hasluck, Swan, Durack, Canning, Burt and O’Connor. Overall, the proposal includes 14.57% of all WA electors moving divisions.
