| Keywords: australian labor party australianlaborparty alp labor federal election 2016 federalelection2016 political ephemera politicalephemera flyer division of bruce divisionofbruce victoria text Flyer distributed around the electorate of Bruce in Melbourne's south eastern suburbs. The seat has been fairly safe for Labor since a redistribution in 1996 saw it included parts of Dandenong that were previously in the electorate of Holt. Prior to that it was a Liberal electorate centred around Glen Waverley. The Labor member since 1996 has been Alan Griffin who is retiring at the 2016 election. Notably the early days saw a staffer in the office named Daniel Andrews who would win the 2014 Victorian Election to become Premier. The 2013 Election saw Labor retain the seat with a wafer thin margin of 1.8%. The Liberal Party put resources into the electorate following a brief surge in polling to Malcolm Turnbull following the leadership spill in September 2015. Polling before the July 2 election date has the two major parties close with the incumbent Coalition possibly 'sandbagging' enough marginal seats to hold on to power. More recently Labor were hoping for gains in Victoria which may have been hampered by issues with the Andrews Victorian Government. Thank you to Vax80 for the flyers.
