Waverley Province

Waverley Province was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council. It existed as a two-member electorate from 1976 to 2006, with members holding alternating eight-year terms. It was a marginal seat for its entire existence, often changing parties according to who held government at the time. It was abolished from the 2006 state election in the wake of the Bracks Labor government's reform of the Legislative Council.

gollark: The economy mostly grows in the long run, so you do *not* have to beat everyone.
gollark: You can apparently just shove stuff into index funds, ignore it for ages, and get decent return over time.
gollark: > do you even have an OLED device? just curiousI do not. It would be very inconsistent of me to dislike OLED things but then go and buy a phone with one.
gollark: This is why OLED displays are uncool. LCD gang.
gollark: Wait, what does "i've been drawing for 10 years since 4 years too" mean?
