Bundoora District
Bundoora was created in 1976, in the fast-growing northern working-class suburbs of Melbourne. Today this area is
stilllargely working-class, but has a stable, home-owning ageing population.
Bundoora has been held by Labor since its
creation. Its first member was John Cain, son of the three-times Labor Premier John Cain senior. Cain became Leader of
the Opposition in 1981 and Premier in 1982, serving until his resignation in 1990. He retired in 1992 and was succeeded by
Sherryl Garbutt, member for the abolished seat of Greensborough. She was a minister in the Bracks government, and retired
in 2006.
Colin Brooks, Labor MLA for Bundoora since 2006, was an electrical tradesman before entering politics. He also worked as an
electorate officer and ministerial adviser. He has been Speaker of the Legislative Assembly since March 2017.
The Liberal candidate in 2018 is Jenny Mulholland, who served 16 years on
Banyule Council.
