Mount Hawthorn was a new seat created under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1929, which took effect at the 1930 election. The Labor member for Leederville and Collier Government minister, Harry Millington ran for and won the seat, holding it until his retirement from politics at the 1947 election, in which Labor lost government after 14 years in office. Les Nimmo of the Liberal Party narrowly won the seat, but with a redistribution prior to the 1950 election reducing the likelihood of a repeat, Nimmo opted to contest the new seat of Wembley Beaches. The redistribution had also merged the North-West Labor-held seats of Pilbara and Roebourne, so Pilbara MLA Bill Hegney contested and won Mount Hawthorn, which he held until his retirement in 1968. Ron Bertram then held the seat until its abolishment at the 1983 election. The redistribution which effected the end of the seat split its voters between the seat of Subiaco, Balcatta (which Bertram contested and won) and Perth.

gollark: The thing is that the GPU isn't really integrated into normal compute use very much, even when it could probably be used effectively.
gollark: Idea for an instruction set: x86-64 MOV, but no other instructions.
gollark: I guess so. ARM SoCs for phones already have the high/low-powered cores dichotomy.
gollark: I think what would be pretty good is having CPUs with a few high-single-thread-perf cores, like we have now, some lower-powered cores, and a lot of parallel processing ones (like GPUs).
