Division of Hindmarsh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Division of Hindmarsh is an Australian Electoral Division in South Australia. The division was created in 1903 and is named for John Hindmarsh, who was Governor of South Australia 1836-38. It is located in the western gulfside suburbs of Adelaide. It was for many years one of the safest seats in the country for the Australian Labor Party, but boundary and demographic changes have made it a marginal seat. Its most prominent members were Norman Makin, who was Speaker in the Scullin government and a Cabinet minister in the Curtin and Chifley governments, and Clyde Cameron, who was a Cabinet minister in the Whitlam government. It currently has the highest proportion of citizens over the age of 65 in Australia, 21.2%, compared to the national average of 12.1%. It has long been dominated by working-class families and aged pensioners, but it is now attracting new wealth to its seaside suburbs.

The Adelaide Airport is located in the electorate, and noise pollution is a prominent local issue, besides the aged care needs of the relatively elderly population.
