The Australian federal electorate of Calwell, located in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, is a diverse and multicultural area encompassing suburbs such as Broadmeadows, Craigieburn, and Roxburgh Park. Established in 1984, it is named after Arthur Calwell, a prominent Australian Labor Party (ALP) figure. Calwell is traditionally a Labor stronghold, reflecting its working-class roots and demographic diversity, with a significant proportion of residents from migrant backgrounds. The electorate faces socio-economic challenges, including pockets of disadvantage, but also benefits from ongoing urban development and community initiatives. Infrastructure, employment, and social services are key issues for its residents.
