Not sure why Maryborough, Avoca, Stawell are in this seat 😂
How would you draw Mllee if they weren/t?
No change was needed, based on both current, and projected enrolment. Hence they stay.
I think it shows we need an expanded parliament.
I can remember a time when there were 2 Federal seats in the area Mallee and Wimmera
The next redistribution will be interesting as both mallee and Wannon will have to expand and as Mallee has had the same boundaroes for the past 2 redistributions this could cause some interesting movemnts but the easiest way I see Mallee moving is picking up (in 7 years time about 10,000 electors from Nicholls) as Mallee’s current actual enrollmetns are not keeping pace witht eh the projected enrollments
@captain if Vic regains its 39th seat it will either stay the same or shed voters.

You can remember the 1976 redistribution when Wimmera division was abolished?
Yes, phil , I was very young but I can reember it
@ Darth Vader
If Vic gain an extra seat, based on current enrollments voer the past 14 month Mallee would be 2,000 votes under the new average.
If this is the csae It would prably need to pick up around 5,000 voters in a future redistirbuion to allow for the next 7 years after the redistribtion

Elder respects to you.
If Victorians are allocated an additional seat after the next twelve-month point ‘entitlement’ muster, then, that will cock the hammer on a redistribution. Then the figures for early 2026 will then be determinative; < nineteen months hence, not ‘seven years from July 2024.’ (under trigger type c)
Now that Wannon has encompassed Anglsea and adjacent surfcoast, it will beat its targets at successive allocations, which opens the possibility of Mallee expanding in a southerly direction in the far future. The location of the new seat next time around will determine the variable borders of large NW rural seats.
