One Nation's breakthrough in the west came on Perth's southern edge. Luke Herdegen won Secret Harbour on 29 August 2026. The ABC later named a booth volunteer from a 2023 tribunal finding. Nearby, Andrew Hastie holds Canning, and One Nation says it'll run against him. At Henderson, south of Fremantle, a US admiral's AUKUS visit put dry-dock capacity at the Henderson Defence Precinct on the agenda. In the city's east, St John of God Midland Private Hospital opened in the old railway workshops with 123 beds, and sixty public beds come back with the move.
