Division of Page
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Page is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of New South Wales. It is located in the far north-east of the state, adjoining the border with Queensland and the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It includes the towns of Ballina, Lismore, Casino, Grafton, Tyringham, Bonalbo, Nimbin and Iluka.
The Division is named after Rt Hon Sir Earle Page, the first leader of the Country Party of Australia and the caretaker Prime Minister of Australia after the death of Joseph Lyons in 1939. The Division was proclaimed at the redistribution of October 11, 1984, and was first contested at the 1984 Federal election. The seat is currently a marginal Nationals seat. It is held by Ian Causley, the Deputy Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives.
