Context & Background
The Division of Griffith has been a battleground seat for decades, created in 1934 and named after Sir Samuel Griffith, a key figure in Australian constitutional history. Historically, Griffith has swung between the Liberal Party and the Australian Labor Party, although it became relatively safe for Labor after Kevin Rudd won it in 1998. However, in the 2022 election, the seat was captured by Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather. The current campaign dynamic highlights the intense competition for this crucial electorate in Queensland.
