Electoral district of Peel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peel is an Electoral district of Western Australia. As in other districts, the Peel district elects a single person to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. The elected person is then known as the Member for Peel, and is said to hold the seat of Peel. Norm Marlborough, who held the seat since 1989 for the Labor Party, most recently at the 2005 election by a margin of 13.5%, resigned from the Legislative Assembly in 2006 and a by-election has been called by the Western Australian Electoral Commission for 3 February 2007. Paul Papalia, an Iraq War veteran and critic, is the Labor candidate for this seat, and his Liberal opponent is local businessman Graeme Coleman.[1]
A disjointed electorate covering an array of suburbs on the southern edge of what the statisticians define as the Perth metropolitan area. It includes Leda, Wellard and parts of Parmelia in Kwinana, the outer Rockingham suburbs of Hillman, Waikiki, Warnbro and Port Kennedy, as well as Baldivis, Secret Harbour, Golden Bay and Singleton. The largest South metropolitan electorate at 192 km².
New seat created before the 1989 election, and with rapid population growth in the district, it has contracted at both subsequent redistributions. A safe Labor seat since its creation.
