The Division of Hasluck is an Australian Electoral Division in Western Australia. The division was created in 2001 and is named for Sir Paul Hasluck, who was Governor-General of Australia 1969-74, and for his wife, Dame Alexandra Hasluck, a prominent author. It is by definition a marginal seat - with the north and south favouring the Australian Labor Party and the centre favouring the Liberal Party. The current member is Ken Wyatt, the first Indigenous Australian member of the House of Representatives.
