Tasmania 2014 – Franklinby Ben Raue |
Franklin covers southern Tasmania, including the eastern suburbs of Hobart and the Huon Valley.
The seat produced a result of 3-2 in favour of the ALP at the 1998 election. In 2002, the Liberal Party lost one of their seats to the Greens, and the 3-1-1 split was repeated in 2006.
In 2010, the ALP lost their third seat to the Liberal Party.
The electorate is home to all three party leaders: Lara Giddings, Will Hodgman and Nick McKim. The electorate is also represented by the ALP’s David O’Byrne and Liberal MP Jacquie Petrusma.
