In Australia, electoral districts for the Australian House of Representatives are called divisions or more commonly referred to as electorates or seats. There are currently 150 single-member electorates for the Australian House of Representatives.
The Division of Corangamite is an Australian electoral division in the state of Victoria. The division was one of the original 65 divisions contested at the first federal election. It is named for Lake Corangamite, although the lake no longer falls within the division's boundaries.
The Division of Ballarat is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria. The division is one of the original 65 divisions contested at the first federal election. It was named for the provincial city of the same name by Scottish squatter Archibald Yuille, who established the first settlement − his sheep run called Ballaarat − in 1837, with the name derived from a local Wathawurrung word for the area, balla arat, thought to mean "resting place". The division was one of the original 65 divisions contested at the first federal election.
The Division of Batman is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria. It takes its name from John Batman, one of the founders of the city of Melbourne. The division was created in 1906, replacing the Division of Northern Melbourne.
