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.

“Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“God and the Devil are an effort after specialization and the division of labor.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
