Griffith

Griffith is an electoral division in southern Brisbane that includes suburbs such as Balmoral, Bulimba, Camp Hill, Coorparoo and West End. The district covers several residential neighborhoods along the Brisbane River and forms a section of the city's inner suburbs.

The electoral division was created in 1934 to replace the seat of Oxley and takes its name from Sir Samuel Walker Griffith, the first Chief Justice of Australia. Representation shifted between different parties over several decades until a change in political direction occurred in 2022.

The division represents a diverse urban population within the Brisbane metropolitan area, reflecting the changing demographics of Queensland's capital city region.

The Australian Electoral Commission handles elections and maintains contact with voters through district offices and online platforms. Information on voting and electoral registration is available throughout the year.

Max Chandler-Mather won the seat in 2022, marking the first time the Greens party succeeded in this electoral division. This outcome reflected a shift in voting preferences among residents in the inner-city areas.
