The Strathfield electorate

Rate this item
(0 votes)

Strathfield is an electoral district of the NSW Legislative Assembly first created in 1988. Its name comes from the Sydney  suburb of the same name.

Strathfield, while traditionally a marginal electorate, tended to favour the Liberal Party of Australia in its earlier years. It was first won by Liberal Paul Zammit and then by Liberal Bruce MacCarthy. MaCarthy's  successor, Labor's  Paul Whelan shifted to Strathfield from the abolished seat of Ashfield and became the Minister for Police in the Carr government .

 Whelan was succeeded by Virginia Judge who was  defeated at the 2011 State election by Liberal and current member Charles Casuscelli.
