Division of Tangney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Division of Tangney is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Western Australia. It is located in the southern suburbs of Perth. The Swan and Canning rivers form the northern boundary of the Division. It includes the suburbs of Alfred Cove, Applecross, Murdoch, Rossmoyne, Shelley, Willetton, Parkwood and Langford. It also includes Murdoch University.

The Division was named after Dame Dorothy Tangney, the first female member of the Australian Senate. The Division was proclaimed at the redistribution of April 19, 1974, and was first contested at the 1974 Federal election. The seat is currently a safe Liberal seat. It was first held by John Dawkins, later a Treasurer of Australia, and was recently held by Daryl Williams, former Attorney-General of Australia.
