The 2007 Peel state by-election was held in the Western Australian Legislative Assembly district of Peel on 3 February 2007. The by-election was triggered by the resignation of Labor MP Norm Marlborough. Labor candidate Paul Papalia was elected to fill the vacancy. BackgroundNorm Marlborough was appointed to cabinet in 2006 as Minister for Small Business, Minister for the Peel and the South West, and Minister Assisting the Minister for Education and Training. This followed the replacement of Geoff Gallop by Alan Carpenter as Premier and Labor leader. Carpenter relaxed the previously existing ban on ministerial contact with disgraced former Premier turned lobbyist Brian Burke. Marlborough, a friend of Burke's, would prove an embarrassment to the government when it was revealed by the Corruption and Crime Commission that he had deliberately passed on confidential cabinet information to Burke.[1]Marlborough resigned from parliament on 10 November 2006,[2] following his sacking from the ministry.[3] On 21 November 2006, the Speaker of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly issued a writ directing the Electoral Commissioner to proceed with an election in the district.[4] Timeline
ResultsDespite the controversy surrounding Marlborough's resignation, the government went unpunished at the ballot box. Instead, the by-election produced an increased two-party preferred majority for Labor. {{Election box begin| title=Peel state by-election, 2007[6] }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Labor WA |candidate = Paul Papalia |votes = 10,801 |percentage = 50.48 |change = −4.50 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Liberal WA |candidate = Graeme Coleman |votes = 5,179 |percentage = 24.21 |change = −4.81 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Greens WA |candidate = Dawn Jecks |votes = 1,941 |percentage = 9.07 |change = +2.70 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Independent |candidate = Gerard Kettle |votes = 1,062 |percentage = 4.96 |change = +4.96 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = One Nation |candidate = Craig Bradshaw |votes = 913 |percentage = 4.27 |change = +2.08 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Christian Democrats |candidate = Brent Tremain |votes = 871 |percentage = 4.07 |change = +0.31 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = Independent |candidate = Robert Woodward |votes = 461 |percentage = 2.15 |change = +2.15 }}{{Election box candidate AU party |party = CEC |candidate = Brian McCarthy |votes = 168 |percentage = 0.79 |change = +0.40 }}{{Election box formal |votes = 21,396 |percentage = 96.39 |change = +1.57 }}{{Election box informal |votes = 801 |percentage = 3.61 |change = −1.57 }}{{Election box turnout |votes = 22,197 |percentage = 79.54 |change = −10.28 }}{{Election box 2pp}}{{Election box candidate AU party| |party = Labor WA |candidate = Paul Papalia |votes = 13,811 |percentage = 64.59 |change = +1.09 }}{{Election box candidate AU party| |party = Liberal WA |candidate = Graeme Coleman |votes = 7,570 |percentage = 35.41 |change = −1.09 }}{{Election box hold AU party |winner = Labor WA |swing = +1.09 }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^{{cite news | title=Marlborough broke cabinet confidentiality for Burke | author=Sam Riley and AAP | date=20 February 2007 | publisher=The West Australian | url=http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx?MenuID=145&ContentID=21845}} {{WA by-elections 37th parl}}2. ^{{cite news | title=WA's Marlborough quits after Burke links revealed | work=ABC Online | date=10 November 2006 | url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200611/s1786103.htm}} 3. ^{{cite news | title=Burke, Marlborough caught on tape | date=9 November 2006 | work=7.30 Report (ABC) | url=http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2006/s1785175.htm}} 4. ^1 {{Gazette WA| url = http://www.slp.wa.gov.au/gazette/gazette.nsf/lookup/2006-194/$file/gg194.pdf| title = Issue of Writ for an Election for the Peel Electoral District to elect a Member of the Legislative Assembly| file = EC401| page = 2006:4815| date = 24 November 2008}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.waec.wa.gov.au/elections/state_elections/election_results/2007_Peel_By-Election/key_dates_and_deadlines.php|title=2007 Peel By Election - Key dates and deadlines|author=Western Australian Electoral Commission|accessdate=6 April 2009}} 6. ^{{cite web | title=District of Peel Results | url=http://www.waec.wa.gov.au/elections/state_elections/election_results/2007_Peel_By-Election/District_of_Peel/District_results.php | publisher=Western Australian Electoral Commission}} 3 : 2007 elections in Australia|Western Australian state by-elections|2000s in Western Australia |
