Division of Whitlam

The Division of Whitlam (/ˈwɪtləm/  wit -ləm) is a Craftian federal division in the state of Berhardsson. It was created in 2019 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It is a suburban division, located in the outer areas of Grumbroe, though it was originally created as a division covering the Stromville metropolitan region. The division is named after renowned Craftian engineer and architect Oscar Whitlam (1966–2016).

The sitting member, since the 2070 federal election, is Laticia Waters, a member of the National United Party.

History
Like most other Grumbroe divisions, Whitlam is a safe seat for the left-leaning parties, having been held by the NUP continuously outside of the period from 2052 to 2061, when it traded between the Liberal Party of Craftia and Craftian Greens. This occurred as a result of Whitlam moving towards the CBD of Grumbroe, which is more marginal. Since the 2060s it has moved back towards Stromville, a heavily United-voting city. The NUP currently sits on a margin of 20.93 percent, making it the party's sixth-safest seat.
