New electoral boundaries in NT, WA, NSW and VIC

[mackaymackay]

Note that new electoral boundaries have been drawn in NT, WA, NSW and VIC ahead of the 2025 federal election, with a new electorate called Bullwinkel to be created in Western Australia and two electorates to be abolished: Higgins (in Victoria) and North Sydney (in New South Wales).

See #1197 for details on how this was done the last time around

These new electorates and boundaries only come into effect after the general election. See for example https://www.aec.gov.au/redistributions/2023/nsw/need-to-know.html. So, we don't need to do anything just yet but these WILL need updating as soon as the results come in for the election.

Our fantastic volunteer Ella has noted that we currently have the postcode 2041 connected to Grayndler on TVFY when it is actually in the electorate of Sydney according to AEC.

I'm assuming we can sort out this issue when we update the new electorate boundaries post-election, so I'm noting it here rather than creating a new separate issue for it.

@benrfairless - I have marked it for this sprint, but unsure of priority (I guessed P2),
