Electoral district of Central Launceston

The electoral district of Central Launceston, sometimes referred to as Launceston Central, was a single-member electoral district of the Tasmanian House of Assembly. It was based in the centre of Launceston, Tasmania's second city, and its inner suburbs.

The seat had two separate existences. It was initially created ahead of the 1871 election and abolished at the 1886 election. It was then recreated ahead of the 1903 election, and was abolished when the Tasmanian parliament adopted the Hare-Clark electoral model in 1909.

gollark: There's probably a marketing team or something trying to deliberately design the ridiculous "Wumpus is lonely" and whatnot messages to appeal more to... someone?
gollark: Do any of these people actually like to see stuff like "Here's a Wumpus for now" in the UI?
gollark: And some languages have a grammatical formal/informal distinction - and they use the formal grammar, but with the really informal wording - which makes it even weirder.
gollark: Apparently they try and use the same sort of thing in other languages...
gollark: On a related note, it annoys me a lot that Discord seem to want to appeal to "gamers"; I don't even know *which* gamers, honestly; with the weird phrasing they use in the UI.
