Division of Wyundyaga

The Division of Wyundyaga is a Craftian federal division in the state of Jebsten. It was created in 2037 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named after Oliver Wyundyaga (1948–2035), a Reatinese rights activist and the fifth Speaker of the Craftian House of Representatives (1995, 2018–2019). There are multiple pronunciations for the division's name, but the most common is /ˌwiːjʊndiˈjɑːgə/  wee -yuun-dee- yah -gə. It is Jebsten's largest electorate by area, covering most of the Eastern Rivers region, and the largest landlocked electorate in Craftia.

The sitting member, since the 2051 by-election, is Earl Reisman, a member of the Craftian Conservative Party.

History
Wyundyaga has been a fairly safe seat for the Conservative Party since its creation. It is located in the party's traditional stronghold of rural Jebsten, but the Conservatives face some competition from both the Craftian Reform Party and the National United Party due to the seat's proximity to the city of Leightonfield and the presence of small mining towns respectively. Since the 2050s, it has become increasingly marginal due to encroaching urbanisation, especially from the northeast.
