Division of Nicholls

The Division of Nicholls is an Australian electoral division. It was created for the May 2019 election. It is currently represented by showstealer1829, first elected at the September 2019 election.

History
The Division is named in honour of Sir Douglas and Lady Gladys Nicholls in recognition of their contribution to Aboriginal rights. The Division of Nicholls was created to replace the Division of Corangamite and the Division of Indi. The division covers much of regional Victoria. Nicholls contains Victoria's second-largest city, Geelong, as well as Bendigo, Ballarat, Wodonga, Mildura, Warrnambool, Traralgon, Wangaratta, Horsham, Warragul, Morwell and Sale, to name a few. The previous member for Corangamite, Socialist candidate AnswerMeNow1, seeked election for Nicholls at the May 2019 election against Social Democratic candidate hoogstra, and was ultimately elected, and re-elected at the following election as the candidate for the South Gippsland Network. The South Gippsland Network was renamed to the Australian Progressives on 4 August 2019. On 28 August 2019, the Australian Progressives merged into the Australian Labor Party, however, on 12 September 2019, AnswerMeNow1 refounded the South Gippsland Network.
