New Lynn is based in West Auckland, straddling the borders of the former Auckland City and areas of Waitakere City. It contains the areas of New Lynn, Titirangi and Waitākere Ranges to cover all the beach-side towns on the north coast of the Manukau Harbour and then up the West Coast till Bethell's Beach. [1]

History

New Lynn was first formed for the 1963 election. [2] It has always been held by members of the Labour Party. The electorate's first representative was Rex Mason, who had been an MP since 1926 and who retired at the end of the term. [3] Mason was succeeded by Jonathan Hunt, who held the electorate for the next 30 years until he contested the Tamaki electorate in the 1996 election instead. [4] Phil Goff became the representative in New Lynn in 1996. [5]

The electorate was abolished in 1999 and Goff successfully stood in Mount Roskill. Titirangi replaced New Lynn in 1999 when population changes in Auckland lead to the creation of Mount Roskill, and Titirangi was won by David Cunliffe. [6] Three years later, population growth in north Auckland led to the creation of the Helensville electorate. The flow-on effect of this was to pull Titirangi eastwards, resulting in the reclamation of its former name for the 2002 election. Cunliffe represented the New Lynn electorate until 2017. [6]

In November 2016, Labour leader Andrew Little announced that Cunliffe would not seek re-election at the 2017 general election, [7] and the seat was won in the election by Deborah Russell, retaining it for the Labour Party.

It saw the governing National Party, led by Jim Bolger, win a second term in office, despite a major swing away from National in both seats and votes, and the carrying of the referendum by 53.9% to 46.1%.
