Division of Deakin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Division of Deakin is an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. It is named for Alfred Deakin, three times Prime Minister of Australia. The division was created in 1937, initially as a rural seat, but since 1949 it has been located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, today taking in Blackburn, Forest Hill, Mitcham Nunawading, and Ringwood. Although it has usually been a marginal seat, it has been held by either the UAP or the Liberal Party except for one brief break since its creation.
