This article is about the New South Wales state electorate. For the former Queensland state electorate, see Electoral district of Auburn (Queensland).
Auburn is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales. It is represented by Barbara Perry of the Australian Labor Party. Because of its location in Western Sydney which is considered Labor heartland [1] [2] Auburn is one of the most safest Labor seats in NSW and has a margin of nearly 30% compared to the next major contender, The Liberal Party of Australia.
