Division of Corio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Division of Corio 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 Corio Bay. It has always been based on the city of Geelong, although in the past it has also included parts of the western suburbs of Melbourne. For most of its history it has been a marginal seat, but since the 1970s it has become fairly safe for the Australian Labor Party. Its most prominent members have been Richard Casey, a leading Cabinet member in the 1930s and later Governor-General, and Gordon Scholes, who was Speaker during the Whitlam government.
