The Division of Bullwinkel is a proposed Australian electoral division in the state of Western Australia. It was created in 2024 as part of a redistribution, and is expected to come into effect at the next federal election.[1] The seat is notionally held by the Labor Party.[2]
Bullwinkel will incorporate parts of the divisions of Hasluck, Durack, Swan, O'Connor, and Canning.[3]
The seat is named after Vivian Bullwinkel (1915−2000), an Australian Army nurse during the Second World War who was the sole surviving nurse of the Bangka Island Massacre.[4][5]
