DIVISION OF BANKS

The 'Division of Banks' is an Australian Electoral Division in New South Wales. The division was created in 1949 and is named for Sir Joseph Banks, the British scientist who accompanied James Cook on his voyage to Australia in 1770. It has always been based in the south-western suburbs of Sydney, including the suburbs of Padstow, Panania, Peakhurst and Revesby. It has been held since its creation by the Australian Labor Party, but has grown increasingly marginal in recent years.
