History

Wollongong was created in 1904, replacing parts of Woronora and Illawarra.[7][8] In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into Wollondilly, along with Allowrie. In 1927, with the abolition of proportional representation, it was recreated, along with a new Illawarra electorate. In 1930, it was replaced by Bulli. In 1941, a new electorate of Wollongong-Kembla was created. This was split into Wollongong and Kembla in 1968. Wollongong has rarely been won by the right wing Шаблон:Australian politics/name party and in recent decades has become one of Labor's safest seats.
