Very Safe Labor 38.2%
Post-Election Margin: Labor 25.0%
MPRoger Cook (Labor) since 2008. Premier, Minister for State and Industry Development, for Jobs and Trade, Public Sector Management and Federal-State Relations.
ProfileThe electorate of Kwinana covers the northern parts of the City of Kwinana west of the Kwinana Freeway. It includes Medina, Orelia, Parmelia, Calista, Bertram, Leda, Wellard and northern parts of Baldivis in the City of Rockingham. The electorate also includes the Kwinana industrial area and covers 104 square kilometres.
RedistributionShifts south losing Hammond Park and Wattleup to Cockburn and Aubin Grove to the new seat of Oakford while gaining parts of Baldivis in the south. The Labor margin increases from 34.8% to 38.2% allowing Kwinana to pass Rockingham as the safest Labor seat in the state. See polling place result map below for detail of the boundary change.
BackgroundKwinana was first contested at the 2008 election, a new electorate created in Perth's south on the introduction of one-vote one-value electoral boundaries. On its creation, Kwinana was a very safe Labor seat with a notional margin of 19.2%. But the 2008 election saw a much closer contest with an independent challenge from local councillor Carol Adams. On election night Adams had a narrow lead over Labor, but the traditional Independent weakness with postal and absent votes allowed Roger Cook to win the seat and become the first member for Kwinana. Adams contested again in 2013 but with less success.
Kwinana has since become a very safe Labor seat and in 2025 Roger Cook will have little difficulty defending his 38.2% margin. Cook took over as Premier from Mark McGowan in June 2023, and the redistribution also means that Cook's seat of Kwinana has also supplanted McGowan's seat of Rockingham as the safest Labor seat in the state.

Cook was elected Deputy Leader of the Opposition after the 2008 election and was Opposition spokesman on Health for two terms before taking on the portfolios in government after Labor won the 2017 election.

After the usual internal factional deals, Cook took over as Premier when Mark McGowan retired in June 2023.
