Division of Eden-Monaro
The Division of Eden-Monaro is an Australian Electoral Division in New South Wales. The division was created in 1901 and is named for the town of Eden and the Monaro district of southern New South Wales. Its boundaries have changed very little throughout its history, and it includes the towns of Bega , Cooma and Queanbeyan. Until 1943 it was usually a safe non-Labor seat, but since then it has been consistently marginal. Since 1972 it has always been held by the government of the day, and it is thus regarded as a "litmus seat."
