History

Liverpool was created in 1950 and has since always been represented by a member of the Labor Party. It has historically been one of the safest Template:Australian politics/name seats in New South Wales and is considered a part of Labor's heartland in Western Sydney.[2][3] To the testament of how safe this seat is, at the 2011 election it became the safest ALP seat with sitting member Paul Lynch winning 64.7% of the two party preferred vote. As virtually all other ALP MPs were reduced to margins less than 55%. Though Ron Hoenig won a larger vote at the Heffron by-election held in August 2012 but that was achieved in the absence of a Liberal opponent.
