Everything about The Division Of Melbourne Ports totally explained
The
Division of Melbourne Ports is an
Australian federal electoral division in the inner south-eastern suburbs of
Melbourne,
Victoria,
Australia.
The
electorate was created in
1900 at the time of Australian Federation (see
History of Australia), and was one of the original 75 divisions contested at the
first federal election. It is named for the fact that at the time of its creation it was centred on
Port Melbourne and
Williamstown, both major ports.
The electorate, traditionally working class, is much more demographically diverse on its current boundaries. It still includes Port Melbourne, but now also includes the
alternative lifestyle suburb of
St Kilda, and middle class
Caulfield, the home of
Australia's largest
Jewish community. According to 2006 census, this electorate has 18.8% Catholic, 12.7% Jewish, 10.8% Anglican, 11.7% other Christian, 5.9% other Religion, 23.2% no Religion and 16.9 not stated. It also has a large
gay and lesbian community.
Melbourne Ports has been held by the
Australian Labor Party (ALP) since
1906. Since its extension eastwards to Caulfield in the
1990 redistribution, however, it has become much less secure for Labor, and is now a marginal seat.
