Electoral district of Perth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perth is an Electoral district of Western Australia. As in other districts, the Perth district elects a single person to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. The elected person is then known as the Member for Perth, and is said to hold the seat of Perth. As of 2001, the Member for Perth is John Hyde who holds the seat for the Labor Party by a margin of 12.0%.
The inner northern suburbs of Perth to the east of the Mitchell Freeway. As well as the Perth CBD, the electorate includes East Perth, Northbridge, Highgate, Mt Lawley, Leederville, Mt Hawthorn, North Perth and parts of Menora. It covers 21 km².
Perth was held for the Labor Party by Terry Burke 1968-87, the brother of former Premier Brian Burke. He was succeeded by Dr Ian Alexander, who resigned from the Labor Party to sit as an Independent over ideological differences in 1992. The Labor margin going into the 1993 election was only 1.2%, and new Labor candidate Diana Warnock did well to hold on to the seat in the face of the defeat of the Lawrence government. A former radio talk-show host, Warnock decided to retire at the 2001 election after serving two terms in Opposition.
