Division of Adelaide

The Division of Adelaide is a Craftian federal division in the state of Western Craftia. It was created in 2049 and first contested at the federal election later that year. The division is located in central Richmond, including the affluent central business district and surrounding inner-city suburbs. It is named after Marie Adelaide (1768–1830), the wife of Governor John Adelaide Rogen, Richmond's founder.

The sitting member, since the 2060 by-election, is Jeb Taubermann, a member of the National United Party.

History
The Division of Adelaide is a marginal seat. It has been held by the United Party for a majority of its existence largely due to the three-cornered contest between the three major parties resulting in the third-place finisher's preferences flowing evenly to the other parties. For example, in the latest federal election, the Craftian Conservative Party polled third, with its preferences flowing almost evenly between the NUP and the Liberal Party of Craftia. United won the seat on a margin of just 1.51 percent.
