Electoral district of Franklin

Franklin is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Wentworth Metropolis, first contested at the 1986 federal election. It is an inner suburban electorate immediately to the northeast of the Wentworth central business district, and is named after poet, author and activist Jane Franklin.

The sitting member, since the 2015 by-election, is Linda Tran, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.

History
Franklin sits on the border between the gentrified, left-leaning inner northern suburbs of Wentworth and the affluent, right-leaning North Shore region. For most of its history, it has been held by the Liberal Party and its conservative predecessors. Demographic change and numerous redistributions have made it less safe for the Liberals in recent years.
