Division of Leichhardt

The Division of Leichhardt (/ˈlaɪkhɑːt/  lyk -haht) is a Craftian federal division in the state of Lumina. It was created in 2031, and first contested at the federal election later that year. Leichhardt is Lumina's largest electorate by area, covering the western two-thirds of the island state, and is named after William Leichhardt (1913–1978), an explorer and linguist who assisted in cataloguing the Reatinese language and Luminese dialect.

The sitting member, since the 2064 federal election, is Nathan Pan, the current leader of the Mojang Democratic Party.

History
Most of Leichhardt is uninhabited except for small Aboriginal communities, but growing suburban areas of the cities of Luma'a and Ha'ii respectively have spilled over into the extreme south and east of the electorate. The seat is traditionally safe for the Mojang Democratic Party, due to its mostly rural Luminese population who tend to vote strongly for the MDP. The extreme south and east are more marginal and tilt towards the other parties.

Leichhardt is one of the two electorates in the country with a Reatinese plurality, the other being Laidera in Jebsten. Leichhardt's population is 43.18% indigenous.
