Macquarie is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Kaigan Prefecture. It was created in 1978 and first contested at the federal election later that year. It stretches across all of northern Kaigan and surrounds the cities of Mizuoka and Taralga.
Macquarie is by far the largest electoral district in Kaigan, covering 70 percent of its total land area. The district is the third-largest by area in the country, after the district of Sierra and Fairfax.
The sitting member, since the 2018 federal election, is Charlie Knight, a member of the Enderron National Party.
==History==
Macquarie was created at the 1978 redistribution, taking in the bulk of the abolished district of Lake Macquarie; most of the remainder became the now-abolished district of Lakeside. Macquarie is one of the few marginal non-metropolitan seats, though since 2002 it has mostly been held by the National Party. It was one of two seats in Northern Enderron to not fall to the Social Democrats during their landslide victory in 1994, the other being Greenberg. Macquarie is currently held by the Nationals on a 2.5 percent margin.
