Everything about The Division Of Riverina totally explained
The
Division of Riverina is an
Australian Electoral Division in the
state of
New South Wales. It is located in south-west rural New South Wales, generally following the
Murrumbidgee River valley. It includes the towns of
Wagga Wagga,
Junee,
Gundagai,
Hay,
Leeton and
Griffith. The
Sturt Highway runs along the length of the Division.
The Division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 75 divisions to be contested at the
first Federal election. The Division was named after the
Riverina region in which it's located. In the 1984 redistribution, the Division was abolished and replaced by the
Division of Riverina-Darling, but in the 1992 redistribution it was re-created. The Division covers a primarily agricultural area.
The seat is currently a safe
Nationals seat, but was a much more marginal seat when it included the Labor-voting
mining towns of
Broken Hill and
Cobar which have now been transferred to
Calare. The seat has previously been held by
Al Grassby, Minister for Immigration in the
Whitlam government.
