Why were there objections to the name of WA's new Federal seat?
Manage episode 479273236 series 5467
The only new electorate in the 2025 Federal election is Bullwinkel, named after World War two nurse Vivian Bullwinkel, the sole Australian survivor of the Bangak massacre.
She only moved to the electorate later in life, which prompted some family and community members to lodge a submission calling for the seat to be named after fellow military nurse Alma Beard who was born and grew up in the Perth hills.
