Division of Macarthur
Australian Commonwealth electoral division covering outer south-west Sydney. Its present boundaries cover the southern suburbs of Campbelltown, increasingly urban Camden and all of the new suburbs in between. The electorate also covers some semi-rural areas such as Bringelly, Cobbity and Leppington. An electorate that has changed hands regulary over the years as redistributions have favoured different parties. This electorate has also tended to change hands with governments due to larger than average swings. Demographic changes and the relative popularity of sitting MP, Pat Farmer have allowed the Liberal Party to consolidate their position here in recent years.
