The Division of Casey is an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in 1969 and is named for Richard Casey, who was Governor-General of Australia 1965-69. It is located in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne and includes the suburbs of Croydon, Montrose, Olinda and Warrandyte. When it was created it was a highly marginal seat, and at the 1972 federal election it was regarded as the "litmus seat, which the Australian Labor Party had to win to gain government (it did). But in recent years boundary and demographic changes have made Casey an increasingly safe seat for the Liberal Party. Labor has not held the seat since 1984. The seat's most prominent member has been Robert Halverson, who was Speaker of the House of Representatives 1996-98.
