Greg Aplin is an Australian politician elected in 2003 as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing the seat of Albury as a member

Albury has generally been considered as a heartland seat for the conservative parties, and the Liberal Party of Australia and its predecessors have held the seat for almost all of its history. The Liberal Party of Australia is an Australian political party. While there have been several instances of the Australian Labor Party breaking the conservative hold on the seat, these have typically been short-lived and have occurred only at the peak of a popular government. There has been only one major exception to this: former Albury mayor Harold Mair won the seat for Labor in 1978 and held it for a decade before being swept away in the landslide Labor defeat of 1988. Harold David Mair (born 2 June 1919) was mayor of Albury from 1976 until 1977 and was elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly Year 1978 ( MCMLXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar) The Albury electorate has since reverted to its traditional tendencies - the current Liberal member, Greg Aplin, was returned with more than 60% of the vote in 2003, and Labor finished fourth behind Aplin and two independents. Greg Aplin is an Australian politician elected in 2003 as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing the seat of Albury as a member It is thus likely that the main potential concern for Liberal candidates in Albury in the immediate future will come from rural independent candidates.
