Division Of Dobell
The Division of Dobell is an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales. Dobell is a NSW Central Coast electorate with large populations of both retirees and young families fleeing Sydney's expensive real estate. The electorate includes the northern suburbs of Gosford, Terrigal, The Entrance, Bateau Bay, Berkeley Vale, Toukley, Budgewoi and Wyong. The current MP is Emma McBride, a member of the Australian Labor Party. She has served since 2016.

1984 Australian Federal Election
The 1984 Australian federal election was held in Australia on 1 December 1984. All 148 seats in the House of Representatives (24 of them newly created) and 46 of 76 seats in the Senate (12 of them newly created) were up for election. The incumbent Labor Party led by Prime Minister Bob Hawke defeated the opposition Liberal–National coalition, led by Andrew Peacock.

Background and issues The election had a long campaign and a high rate of informal voting for the House of Representatives, but decreased rate in the Senate (due to the introduction of the Group voting ticket). The election was held 18 months ahead of time, partly to bring the elections for the House of Representatives and Senate back into line following the double dissolution election of 1983. The legislated increase in the size of the House of Representatives by 24 seats and the Senate by 12 seats came into ef ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Greens New South Wales
The Greens New South Wales, commonly known as Greens NSW, is a green political party in New South Wales and a member of the Australian Greens. First formed in 1991, the Greens NSW began as a state-level party before joining with other green parties in Australia to create the current federated structure. The Greens NSW continue to be separate to the other state and territory Greens parties in several regards. The Greens NSW tend to be more left-wing in their political positions in comparison to the other state parties, and continues to maintain the original Greens policy of not having a single parliamentary leader, instead being based on principles of collective leadership. The party currently sits on the crossbench in the New South Wales Parliament, and has representation federally in the Senate. History The first Greens party was registered in 1984, but the Greens NSW did not take its current form until 1991, when six local groups in New South Wales federated as a state pol ...
