The Division of Calwell is an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in 1984 and is named for Arthur Calwell, who was Minister for Immigration 1945-1949 and Leader of the Australian Labor Party 1960-1967. In fact it is the only seat to be named after an Opposition Leader who never became Prime Minister.
It is located in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, and includes the suburbs of Broadmeadows, Craigieburn, Sunbury and Tullamarine. It is a fairly safe seat for the Australian Labor Party.
