The Division of Tasmania was an Australian Electoral Division that existed from 1901 until 1903. It covered the entire state of Tasmania which, unlike most of the other states, had not been split into individual single-member electorates. The Division elected five members at the first federal election, with each elector casting one vote. In 1903, the Division was split into five divisions, each electing a single member.

Famous quotes containing the words division of and/or division:
“God and the Devil are an effort after specialization and the division of labor.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Affection, indulgence, and humor alike are powerless against the instinct of children to rebel. It is essential to their minds and their wills as exercise is to their bodies. If they have no reasons, they will invent them, like nations bound on war. It is hard to imagine families limp enough always to be at peace. Wherever there is character there will be conflict. The best that children and parents can hope for is that the wounds of their conflict may not be too deep or too lasting.”
—New York State Division of Youth Newsletter (20th century)
