DIVISION OF LINDSAY

The 'Division of Lindsay' is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of New South Wales. It is located in the outer western suburbs of Sydney, and is centred around Penrith. It also includes the suburbs of Castlereagh, Glenbrook, Mulgoa and Werrington.
The Division is named after Sir Norman Lindsay, the prominent Australian artist, writer and sculptor. The Division was proclaimed at the redistribution of October 11 1984, and was first contested at the 1984 Federal election. The seat is currently a marginal Liberal seat.
Prior to the 1996 election, it was considered a safe Labor seat, until a swing of more than 10% removed the minister Ross Free from office. However a by-election was called when it was revealed that there were eligibility problems, due to citizenship, with Jackie Kelly's election.
