==History==

==Background==

Arnhem was one of the initial electorates created along with the introduction of the Legislative Assembly in 1974. Though it consisted of predominantly indigenous towns which voted strongly for the [[Australian Labor Party (Northern Territory Branch)|Labor Party]] at a federal level, it was won by the [[Country Liberal Party]] amidst their landslide victory at the [[1974 Northern Territory general election|election of that year]], in which the Labor Party won no seats. Arnhem returned to expectations at the [[1977 Northern Territory general election|1977 election]], when it was won by Labor candidate [[Bob Collins (Australian politician)|Bob Collins]], who was elected leader of the party in 1981. After much of the northern portion of the seat was transferred to the new seat of [[electoral division of Arafura|Arafura]] in 1983, Collins transferred there and was succeeded in Arafura by new Labor candidate [[Wes Lanhupuy]]. Lanhupuy was comfortably re-elected three times, but died suddenly in 1995.<ref name="abc">{{cite web | url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/nt-election-2016/guide/arnh/ | title=Electorate: Arnhem | publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation | work=NT Votes 2016 | access-date=5 September 2016}}</ref>
