Division of Throsby
The Division of Throsby is an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales. The division is named after Charles Throsby, a prominent pioneer and explorer in the early nineteenth century of the areas to the south of Sydney.
Located in the Illawarra, the division covers eastern Wingecarribee Shire, extending from Exeter, Lake Yarrunga and Upper Kangaroo Valley in the south to Aylmerton, Alpine, the Avon Dam, Lake Avon, Dombarton, and Kembla Grange in the north to the Pacific Ocean in the east at Port Kembla, including the northern part of the City of Shellharbour and the southern portion of the adjacent City of Wollongong. It includes Albion Park, Berkeley, Berrima, Blackbutt, Bowral, Cringila, Dapto, Exeter, Fitzroy Falls, Horsley, Kembla Grange, Lake Illawarra, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Oak Flats, Port Kembla, Robertson, Warrawong, Welby, Willow Vale, and parts of Warilla.
The current Member for Throsby, since the 2010 federal election, is Stephen Jones, a member of the Australian Labor Party.
The Division of Throsby was created in a redistribution in 1984 and has been represented by Labor since its inception. The Illawarra is one of the few non-metropolitan regions where Labor consistently does well. The area has a strong working-class character due to the presence of industries such as steelmaking, coal mining and stevedoring.
==Proposed renaming==
In honour of former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, the Australian Electoral Commission announced in 2015 that it will rename the Division of Throsby as the Division of Whitlam, to take effect at the next Australian federal election.
