Member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly

Member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly

In Western Australia, a Member of the Legislative Assembly or MLA is a person elected to sit in the Western Australian Legislative Assembly, the lower house of the Parliament of Western Australia. Each member is elected by the residents of an electoral district to represent the interests of that electorate. Most members, however, usually vote along party lines, rather than strictly in the best interests of their electorate.
