Division of Yarra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Division of Yarra was an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria. It was located in inner eastern suburban Melbourne, and was named after the Yarra River, which originally formed the eastern border of the Division, and eventually ran through it. It originally covered the suburbs of Abbotsford, Collingwood, Richmond and part of Fitzroy. By the time it was abolished in 1969, it no longer covered Abbotsford or Fitzroy, but included Burnley and Hawthorn.

The Division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 75 divisions to be contested at the first Federal election. It was abolished at the redistribution of November 21, 1968. During its existence, the Division was held by four Labor members, including Frank Tudor, a former leader of the Australian Labor Party; James Scullin, the ninth Prime Minister of Australia;, Stan Keon, an important figure in the ALP-DLP Split; and Jim Cairns, a former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia.
