Michelle Ananda-Rajah’s seat of Higgins to be abolished at next federal election

[ad_1]

The federal seat of Higgins in Victoria will be abolished at the next federal election, meaning local MP Michelle Ananda-Rajah will either have to contest a new seat, find a place on a Senate ticket or quit politics altogether.

Ms Ananda-Rajah only just won the seat at the 2022 federal election, defeating Liberal Katie Allen.

The Australian Electoral Commission’s Tom Rogers said a redistribution was required to remove a division from Victoria, with a new division named Bullwinkel to be created in Western Australia.

The prime minister has said he intends to serve a full term, meaning the next federal election would be held in 2025.
