Encyclopedia > Division of Gippsland

The Division of Gippsland is an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in 1900 and was one of the original 75 divisions contested at the first federal election. It is named for the Gippsland region of eastern Victoria, which in turn is named for Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales 1838-46. It includes the towns of Bairnsdale, Morwell, Sale and Traralgon. In 104 years Gippsland has never elected a Labor member. It has been held by the Country Party and its successor the National Party since 1922: it is the only seat the party has held since its creation. On its new boundaries, however, it takes in most of the industrial Latrobe Valley and is a marginal seat. The Australian House of Representatives is elected from 150 single-member districts called Divisions. ...
