More than two thirds of voters in the Western Australian seat of Hasluck, formerly held by Ken Wyatt, voted no in the Voice referendum.

At the latest count, 66.06 per cent of voters in Hasluck voted no.

Mr Wyatt, who served as Minister for Indigenous Australians in the former Coalition federal government, resigned from the Liberal Party in April over the parliamentary leadership's decision to campaign against the Voice to Parliament.

The former MP, who was the first Aboriginal person to be elected to the federal House of Representatives in Australian history, had long urged his former party and coalition colleagues to educate themselves on the role of the Voice and support the proposal.

In March he said Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's tactic of demanding more detail was a "smokescreen".

"I think if Peter was given the answers to the 15 questions in tablet form from Moses, he still would not accept them," he told Guardian Australia at the time.

Mr Wyatt said he believed it would be a mistake "globally" for the Liberals to not support the referendum, adding to a perception the party was racist.

In December 2021 Mr Wyatt, then Minister for Indigenous Australians, released a 272-page report on the Indigenous Voice co-design process. In late November last year Mr Wyatt urged Nationals MPs to read the report after the federal party announced it would oppose the Voice.
