Australia Street is filmed in the seat of Banks in Sydney’s south-west, home to roughly 155,000 people and one of Australia’s most culturally diverse areas.
It was the Australian Labor Party's for more than 40 years, until 2013 when the seat was won by Liberal candidate, and now Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs, David Coleman. It is now held by the Liberal Party on a margin of 1.4 per cent.
