FACTS

& FIGURES

The Division of Bennelong is an Australian electorate in New South Wales.

The division was CREATED IN 1949

Named for Bennelong, an Aboriginal man befriended by the first Governor of New South Wales, Arthur Phillip.

27 ELECTIONS, 26 WON BY LIBERALS, 1 WON BY LABOUR

2007 voter turnout in Bennelong was 95%

Bennelong originally covered Ryde, Hunters Hill and Lane Cove, but not areas such as Eastwood and Epping that are now contained within the seat

The seat of Bennelong had gradually shifted to the north-west over the decades, taking in Epping. The 1992 redistribution saw the last parts of Lane Cove removed from the seat, and Howard’s margin was cut in 1993

When the Division of Bennelong was created

in 1949, it covered mainly the suburbs of Ryde,

Hunters Hill and Lane Cove, all of which were

(and still are) relatively affluent areas, and as

such it has historically been a “safe” Liberal

seat.

Over the years Bennelong has evolved into

a marginal seat, and this has been attributed

to two factors. Firstly, the electoral boundary

of Bennelong has been redrawn (“redistrib-

uted”) numerous times, to exclude the wealthy

Lane Cove and Hunters Hill in the East, and

to incorporate Eastwood, Epping, Carlingford

and working class Ermington in the North and

West. Secondly, the demographic has changed

as well: since the early 1990s, Eastwood and

surrounding suburbs have seen an influx of

migrants from China, Hong Kong, South Korea

and India, who are relatively affluent and con-

servative, but are sensitive towards political

policies on immigration and multiculturalism

When Howard first won Bennelong, his home

at Wollstonecraft was in the electorate. It was

removed by the 1977 redistribution, and Benne-

long continued to moved westward over time,

“Eastwood is a suburb of Syd-

ney, in the state of New South

Wales, Australia. Eastwood is

located 17 kilometres north-

west of the Sydney central

business district in the local

government areas of the City

of Ryde and the City of Par-

ramatta. Eastwood is in the

Northern Suburbs region.

Originally thought to have

been inhabited by the Wal-

lumedegal Aboriginal tribe,

who lived in the area between

the Lane Cove and Parramatta

Rivers the area was first set-

tled by Europeans shortly after

the arrival of the First Fleet in

1788, from land grants to Roy-

al Marines and NSW Corps,

and was named “Eastwood”

by an early Irish free settler,

William Rutledge.

Today it is a large urban centre

in the north of Sydney of over

14,000 people, with a large

shopping area. Eastwood has

a large population of Asian

descent with immigrants

from China and South Korea

transforming the commercial

precinct in the past decade.

Epping is located 18 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business

district.

The Wallumedegal Aboriginal tribe lived in the area between the Lane Cove

River and Parramatta River. Epping had a population of 20,227 in 2011.

Epping is located 18 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business

district.

Approximately 49.5% of residents living in Epping are Australian born and the

majority of its migrant residents hail from China (11.7%), South Korea (6.6%),

Hong Kong (6.1%), India (4.6%) and England (2.3%) respectively.

Epping is also known to be a more affluent suburb in its region, as evidenced

by its higher median house prices compared to neighbouring suburbs, and

the high proportion of professionals who reside in Epping (nearly double the

Sydney average)

Silent disco has become a common name[1] for a disco where people dance to music listened

to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via an FM-

transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the partici-

pants. Those without the headphones hear no music, giving the effect of a room full of people

dancing to nothing. Often two DJs compete for listeners. Silent discos are popular at music fes-

tivals as they allow dancing to continue past noise curfews. Similar events are “mobile clubbing”

gatherings, where a group of people dance to the music on their personal music players.
