Banks is a Labor seat covering Hurstville and surrounding areas in southern Sydney. While it has been a seat based on southern Bankstown in the past, it has shifted east for this year’s election, with suburbs such as Panania, East Hills and Picnic Point transferred to the neighbouring seat of Hughes. Banks is held by a 9.7% margin, although it was held by a slim 1.06% margin at the 2004 election. It has been held by Labor MP Daryl Melham since 1990.
