Division of Bonython

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Division of Bonython was an Australian Electoral Division in South Australia. The division was created in 1955 and abolished in 2004. It was named for Sir Langdon Bonython, philanthropist, publisher, and federal MP. Bonython was based in the northern working-class suburbs of Adelaide and was a fairly safe seat for the Australian Labor Party. At the time of its abolition it included the suburbs of Elizabeth and Salisbury.
