Federal Election 2025: Will Labor maintain its stronghold on central Perth electorate?

Labor member Patrick Gorman is seeking to retain his Perth seat, held since 2018, emphasizing the community’s desire for results on key issues like climate change and education. As the election approaches, concerns over cost of living and housing dominate, with competition from Greens candidate Sophie Greer, who advocates for dental inclusion in Medicare and effective climate action. While Gorman currently leads by 14.4%, some locals express dissatisfaction with Labor’s performance, indicating a potential shift in voter sentiment.
