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.

Famous quotes containing the words division of and/or division:
“In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“That crazed girl improvising her music,
Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,
Her soul in division from itself
Climbing, falling she knew not where,
Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship
Her knee-cap broken.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
