Strathfield is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales.
While traditionally a marginal electorate, Strathfield tended to favour the Liberal Party in its earlier years.
Zammit later contested the federal seat as an independent on the issue of airports and air traffic over the area.
The seat has tended to lean towards Labor ever since, with Whelan being succeeded by Virginia Judge.
Judge lost the seat in 2011 to Liberal candidate Charles Casuscelli, but he was in turn defeated by Labor's Jodi McKay in 2015.
