Candidates in ballot paper order
A safe Labor seat covering suburbs in Perth's middle north, Mirrabooka was created in 2013 in place of abolished Nollamara, which was in turn created with the one-vote one-value redistribution in 2008. Nollamara had previously been an electorate from 1989 to 2005, with the area divided between Girrawheen and Yokine in the interim. The electorate has a reverse L-shape, with Balga and Westminster forming a south-western leg attached to a column of suburbs running from Mirrabooka north through Koondoola to Alexander Heights. Balga and Mirrabooka are famously down market, although Alexander Heights is newer and somewhat more affluent. The current member is Janine Freeman, a former assistant secretary of UnionsWA and member of the United Voice sub-faction of the Left, who came to parliament as the member for Nollamara in 2008. |
