Everything about Division Of Parkes 1901-69 totally explained
The
Division of Parkes (1901-1969) was an
Australian Electoral Division in the
state of
New South Wales. It was located in the south-west of
Sydney, and originally included the suburbs of
Canterbury,
Burwood and
Ashfield. By the time it was abolished in 1969, it had been redistributed to cover suburbs such as
Earlwood and
Harcourt.
The Division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 75 divisions to be contested at the
first Federal election. It was named after Sir
Henry Parkes, seventh
Premier of New South Wales and sometimes known as the 'Father of Federation'. The seat was vacant for a short time at the end of 1930, when
Edward McTiernan was appointed a Justice of the
High Court of Australia. He was to become the longest serving Justice of that court.
At the redistribution of
11 October 1984, a new
Division of Parkes was created. However, this was located in north-west rural New South Wales, and had no connection to this Division.
