Division of Herbert
The Division of Herbert is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland. Eligible voters within the Division elect a single representative, known as the member for Herbert, to the Australian House of Representatives. The division was one of the original 75 divisions contested at the 1901 election. It is located in northern Queensland, and is named after Sir Robert Herbert, the first Premier of Queensland (1859–1866). It has always been based on the city of Townsville, though on its original boundaries it extended from Mackay to the Torres Strait. Successive redistributions have cut back the seat to little more than Townsville and its inner suburbs. The seat had been a bellwether for Federal electoral results for three decades, having been represented by a member of the governing party of the day for all but two terms from 1966 to 2007.
It was hotly contested in the 2007 election with local identity and businessman George Colbran preselected by Labor to contest Herbert. Colbran conceded defeat to sitting member Peter Lindsay on 5 December.
