Electoral division of Johnston
- Electoral division of Johnston
Johnston is an electoral division of the Legislative Assembly in Australia's Northern Territory. It was first created in 2001, replacing the abolished Jingili electorate, and is named after Commodore Eric Johnston, a former Administrator of the Northern Territory. Johnston is an urban electorate, covering only 3.75 km² and taking in the Darwin suburbs of Jingili, Moil, Wagaman and part of Alawa. There were 4265 people enrolled within the electorate as of June 2005.
Johnston has been held by the Australian Labor Party ever since its creation in 2001, and would now appear on paper to be a somewhat marginal ALP seat. However, it replaced the abolished Jingili electorate, which had been held by the Country Liberal Party ever since the creation of the Assembly in 1974. This led many commentators to suggest that it may be likely to revert to the CLP at the 2005 election. This did not eventuate, however; incumbent MLA Dr Chris Burns was re-elected easily, with a substantially increased majority - although not as much as in similar electorates nearby.
