Division of Bankera

The Division of Bankera is a Craftian federal division in the Bankera Capital Territory. It was created in 2004 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It covers the heart of the Bankera central business district, and includes Capital Island as well as Parliament House.

The sitting member, since the 2061 federal election, is Katie Lynwood, the leader of the Liberal Party of Craftia.

History
The division, located in a socially progressive city in a generally left-leaning territory, is considered Liberal heartland, having captured socially progressive voters from the increasingly centrist National United Party. The city of Bankera is generally younger and has a higher rate of university-level attendance than other cities, which contributes to the Liberals' dominance in the city. The seat's most well-known members include George Dellfield, the 8th (and shortest-serving) Prime Minister of Craftia, and Katie Lynwood, the current leader of the Liberal Party.
