The federal electorate of Perth, located in Western Australia, encompasses the innermost suburbs of the state's capital city, including Perth CBD, Northbridge, and parts of surrounding suburbs like Mount Lawley, Leederville, and Victoria Park. Established in 1901, it is one of Australia's oldest electorates and is known for its vibrant urban culture, diverse population, and progressive voting tendencies. The seat has historically been a marginal electorate, often swinging between the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and the Liberal Party, reflecting its mix of inner-city professionals, students, and multicultural communities. Key issues for residents include urban development, public transport, healthcare, and climate change.
