Penrith is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales since 1973.[1] It is represented by Karen McKeown of the Labor Party.
It has been traditionally a safe Labor seat for most of its history but has had times where it has fallen to the Liberal Party. It is now regarded as a key marginal seat.
