Electoral district of Kimberley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kimberley is an Electoral district of Western Australia. As in other districts, the Kimberley district elects a single person to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. The elected person is then known as the Member for Kimberley, and is said to hold the seat of Kimberley. As of 2001, the Member for Kimberley is Carol Martin who holds the seat for the Labor Party by a margin of 3.3%. The seat in 2009 is expected to be retained by the Labor Party.

The state's most northerly electorate, Kimberley includes the towns of Kununurra, Wyndham, Derby and Broome. The electorate is larger than Victoria, covering 239,125 km².

Kimberley was a Labor seat from 1924 to 1968, and again when held by Ernie Bridge after 1980. When Bridge resigned from the Labor Party in mid-1996, Labor chose not to contest the seat against him at the state election, though Brian Martin, the President of the Derby Labor Party Branch, ran as an Independent and polled second on the primary vote. This was one of the reasons Bridge did not support Martin's wife Carol when she was nominated as the Labor candidate for the 2001 election.
