Division of Isaacs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Isaacs is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria. It is located in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, on the eastern shores of Port Phillip Bay. It covers the suburbs of Mordialloc, Keysborough, Noble Park, Chelsea and Carrum.
The Division was named after Sir Isaac Isaacs, former Chief Justice of Australia and the first Australian-born Governor-General of Australia. It was proclaimed at the redistribution of November 21, 1968, and first contested at the 1969 Federal election. The Division is currently a marginal Labor seat.
The former Division of Isaacs (1949-69) was located in the inner south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and was not related to this Division except in name.
