Division of Farrer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Farrer is an Australian Electoral Division in New South Wales. The division was created in 1949 and is named for William Farrer, agricultural scientist. It is located in the southern rural area of the state and includes Albury, Balranald, Deniliquin and Jerilderie. It has always been a safe non-Labor seat, alternating between the Liberal Party and the National Party. It was held by three Cabinet ministers in succession, including Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer.
