The analysis found 41 per cent of homes in the electorate were at risk, with nearly 13,000 residents at “high risk” of disaster. That would more than double to 30,000 by the end of the century if no action was taken to address climate change

AEC abolishes Higgins electorate in Victoria and creates #Bullwinkel in WA

The Australian Electoral Commission (#AEC) has officially abolished the Higgins electorate in Victoria and created the Bullwinkel electorate in Western Australia.

The new WA electorate is named after Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel, sole survivor of the 1942 Banka Island massacre.

In a statement, the AEC said there would be “a very small increase in the number of electors who will change their electoral division” in Victoria. The AEC wrote on X:

As the names [and] boundaries announced today are not considered to be significantly different from the initial proposal there will be no further public input.

The new [Victorian] names and boundaries will be formally determined on 17 October 2024 with overview maps also becoming available.
