Fairfax is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Flinders Prefecture. It was created in 1966 and first contested at the federal election later that year, replacing the district of Flinders South. Fairfax is named for Robert Fairfax, a rural Flinderian doctor and inventor.
Fairfax is the largest electoral district in Flinders, covering 57 percent of its total land area. It includes a large portion of the prefecture's north and east. The district is the second-largest by area in the country, after the district of Sierra.
The sitting member, since the 1990 federal election, is Martin Brooks, the leader of the Enderron National Party.
==History==
Fairfax was proclaimed in the 1966 redistribution. Most of its territory came from the Flinders South electorate. As with its predecessor, it originally covered most of southern Flinders and parts of outer suburban Flinders City, but has shifted north ever since its creation. The biggest change was in the 1990 redistribution, which abolished the northern Flinders seat of Avalon North and the creation of Campbell in the southwest pushed Fairfax well into approximately its current location in rural northern Flinders. It now includes none of its original territory.
In its current form, Fairfax is a very safe seat for the National Party, having held it continuously since the 1990 federal election.
