READ NOWMr Abetz said he was disappointed because he wanted the Forest Lakes area of Thornlie in his area as he believed it had similar issues as those in Southern River and Canning Vale.
Instead, that area will remain with Gosnells MLA Chris Tallentire, who will be the member for the newly-named Thornlie.
It has been that way since 2008.
