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]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
