Division of Rankin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Division of Rankin is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland. The division was created in 1984 and is named for Annabelle Rankin, the first Queensland woman elected to the Senate.

In its original form, Rankin covered the Gold Coast hinterland including Lamington National Park and the major town of Beaudesert as well as some outer metropolitan areas of Brisbane. In this situation it was a marginal seat which the Labor party managed to hold. However, with the transfer of the rural hinterland to Forde, Rankin became a much safer Liberal seat, being one of only two Queensland seats the ALP retained in the 1996 election.

Today Rankin is based on the outer southern suburbs of the City of the Brisbane, in addition to portions of the City of Logan. The division covers an area of 151 square kilometres in 2005.
