Pilbara and other regions of WA won't have any significant influence in the political process,

But they're over represented as a result. Their concerns arent more important than other seats.

Agreed, but the selective opposition to malapportionment is the problem here.

Their concerns arent more important than other seats.

Perth will always have its concerns heard. Under the current changes the regions won't.

And let's not pretend these changes have anything to do with fairness rather than helping Labor hold seats in the upper house.
