EspañolDIVISION OF GROOM
The 'Division of Groom' is an
Australian Electoral Division in Queensland.
The division was created in 1984, when the old Division of Darling Downs was abolished and is named in honour of Sir Littleton Groom, a long-serving member for Darling Downs.
It is located in the rural areas west of Brisbane and is centred on the city of Toowoomba, Australia's second largest inland City. Other centres include Oakey and Pittsworth.
The seat has never elected a Labor member and is considered a safe seat for the Liberal Party with a two party preferred vote of 68.95% at the 2004 election.
