With regard to AEC Guidelines for naming of Divisions (1) Naming after persons - In the main, divisions should be named after deceased Australians who have rendered outstanding service to their country. (2) (2) Other criteria - Names of divisions should not be changed or transferred to new areas without very strong reasons. I would propose that given that Edward Gibbon Wakefield who never lived in Australia, spent 3 years in Prison for a crime in England, and was a member of a Parliament of another country (NZ) that strong consideration should be given to renaming the Division of Wakefield either on its current boundaries or any new boundaries. -
