Division of McEwen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of McEwen is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria. It is located in the centre of the state, north of the capital city of Melbourne. It includes the outer northern suburb of Whittlesea, and the towns of Woodend, Tooborac, Broadford, Seymour, Yea, Eildon, Marysville and Warburton.
The Division was proclaimed at the redistribution of September 14, 1984, and was first contested at the 1984 Federal election. It was named after Rt Hon Sir John McEwen, leader of the Country Party of Australia, who was appointed caretaker Prime Minister of Australia after the disappearance of Harold Holt in 1967. The Division is currently a fairly safe Liberal seat. It is held by Fran Bailey, the Minister for Employment Services and Assistant Minister for Defence.
