Perth was held for the Labor Party by Terry Burke 1968-87, the brother of former Premier Brian Burke. He was succeeded by Dr Ian Alexander, who resigned from the Labor Party to sit as an Independent over ideological differences in 1992. The Labor margin going into the 1993 election was only 1.2%, and new Labor candidate Diana Warnock did well to hold on to the seat in the face of the defeat of the Lawrence government. A former radio talk-show host, Warnock decided to retire at the 2001 election after serving two terms in Opposition.
