Division of Maribyrnong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Maribyrnong is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria. It is located in the north-western suburbs of Melbourne. It covers the suburbs of Moonee Ponds, Essendon, Tullamarine, Airport West, Sunshine and Brooklyn. Due to redistributions, the Division has been slowly moving west. It originally covered the suburbs of Footscray and North Melbourne.
The Division was proclaimed at the redistribution of July 13, 1906, and was first contested at the 1906 Federal election. The Division was named after the Maribyrnong River, which runs through it. The Division is currently a very safe Labor seat.
