Willoughby is anelectoral district of theLegislative Assembly in the Australian state ofNew South Wales. It has been represented byTim James of theLiberal Party since 12 February 2022.

History

[edit]

Willoughby was anelectoral district of theNew South Wales Legislative Assembly, first created in 1894 with the abolition of multi-member electoral districts from part ofSt Leonards, and named after and including theSydney suburb ofWilloughby. It was abolished in 1904 and re-established in 1913. In 1920 with the introduction ofproportional representation, it was absorbed into the multi-member electorate ofRyde along withBurwood andGordon. It was recreated in 1927 with the return to single-member electorates. It was abolished in 1988, with most of its territory becomingMiddle Harbour. In 1991, Middle Harbour was abolished and replaced by a recreated Willoughby.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Like most seats in the North Shore, Willoughby is a stronghold for theLiberal Party. Counting its time as Middle Harbour, the Liberals or their predecessors have held the seat for all but two terms since the return to single-member seats in 1927. The one break in this tradition came in the "Wranslide" of1978, when a split in the Liberal vote allowedLabor'sEddie Britt to sweep into office. However, a redistribution ahead of the1981 election erased Britt's majority and made Willoughby notionally Liberal. Britt narrowly lost to future state opposition leaderPeter Collins even in the face of the second "Wranslide."^[2]

The seat reverted to form in1984, with Collins easily seeing off Britt in a rematch. Since then, Labor has usually run dead in Willoughby, and on some occasions has been pushed into third place. The only time the Liberal hold on the seat has been seriously threatened since the 1980s came on Collins' retirement in2003. Pat Reilly, the longtime mayor of theCity of Willoughby, ran as an independent and nearly defeated LiberalGladys Berejiklian on Labor preferences. The swing against the Liberals was large enough to drop the Liberal margin over Labor to 7.2 percent, the closest in two decades. However, Berejiklian easily despatched Reilly in a rematch and held the seat without serious difficulty until her retirement in 2022.^[2]

Willoughby is one of four electorates in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly to have been held by twoPremiers of New South Wales while in office. Both Premiers(Sir) Charles Wade and Gladys Berejiklian held Willoughby while in office, the other three electorates beingKu-ring-gai,Maroubra andWollondilly.

Berejiklian has facts in common with her predecessor in Willoughby, Collins in that both had served as state Liberal leaders and prior to that served as Deputy Liberal leader and Treasurer although unlike Collins, Berejiklian held the positions of Deputy Liberal leader and Treasurer simultaneously.
