Division of Wilmot

Division of Wilmot
Wilmot
Australian House of Representatives Division
Created: 1903
Abolished: 1984
Namesake: John Eardley-Wilmot

The Division of Wilmot was an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Tasmania. It was located in central Tasmania, and was named after Sir John Eardley-Wilmot, the sixth Lieutenant-Governor of Tasmania. At various times it included the towns of Deloraine, Beaconsfield, Devonport, Latrobe and New Norfolk.

The Division was proclaimed on 2 October 1903, when Tasmania was first divided into Divisions, and was first contested at the 1903 Federal election. At the electoral redistribution of 12 September 1984, it was abolished and replaced by the Division of Lyons, in order to jointly honour Joseph Lyons, the fourteenth Prime Minister of Australia, who held Wilmot from 19291939, and his wife Dame Enid Lyons, the first woman elected to the Australian House of Representatives in 1943 and subsequently the first female member of Cabinet (194951).
