The Division of Sydney is an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales. The division draws it name from Sydney, the most populous city in Australia, which itself was named after former British Home Secretary Thomas Townshend, 1st Viscount Sydney. The division was proclaimed at the redistribution of 21 November 1968, replacing the old Division of East Sydney and Division of West Sydney, and was first contested at the 1969 election. The division is located around the City of Sydney, and includes many inner suburbs such as , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and parts of , , , and the generic locality of which incorporates parts of the localities of , and . Lord Howe Island, within the Tasman Sea and some north-east of the Sydney central business district, is located within the division; as are the harbour islands from Spectacle Island to the Sydney Heads, and all the waters of Port Jackson, except for Middle Harbour and North Harbour. The current Member for the Division of Sydney, since the 1996 federal election, is Tanya Plibersek, a member of the Australian Labor Party and the current Deputy Leader of the Opposition. ==History== The seat is a safe Labor seat; the Labor Party has never polled less than 60% of the two-party preferred vote at any election. Following a national trend towards progressive inner-city voting, the seat had the highest amount of Green votes in any federal electorate in the 2004 election. The Divisions of Melbourne and Grayndler topped Sydney for the highest Green vote at the 2007, 2010 and 2013 elections.〔 As at the 2001 census, the electorate had the highest number of same-sex couples in Australia (). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Division of Sydney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
