Division of Flinders Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in 1901 and is named for Matthew Flinders, the first man to circumnavigate Australia. Originally a country seat south and east of Melbourne, Flinders has been gradually cut back to the outer southern suburbs on the Mornington Peninsula, including Dromana, Hastings and Portsea. It has usually been a fairly safe seat for the Liberal Party and its predecessors, but has occasionally been won by the Australian Labor Party, most famously in 1929 when Prime Minister Stanley Bruce was defeated. Other prominent members include Sir Phillip Lynch, a Cabinet minister in the Fraser government, and Peter Reith, a senior minister in the Howard government. (references)
