Labor to win another seat in Western Australia amid electorate redistribution

Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the redistribution of electoral boundaries announced on Friday will give Labour another seat in Western Australia. On Friday the electoral boundaries for the next election were drawn up in Victoria and WA. “Much of the publicity since has been around the Victorian Labor seat of Higgins disappearing but the changes has brought down the margin in Shadow Housing Minister Michael Sukkar's seat of Deakin to 50-50 and given Labor a show in the seat of Menzies,” Mr Clennell said. “Liberal sources have spoken about the potential to win up to four seats in WA but … would require very big swings, well above the national average.”
