Division of Groom

The Division of Groom is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland. The division was created in 1984 as essentially a reconfigured version of the old Division of Darling Downs. It is named in honour of Sir Littleton Groom, who represented Darling Downs with only one short break from 1901 to 1936 and served as Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives.

It is located in the rural areas west of Brisbane and is centred on the city of Toowoomba, Australia's second largest inland city. Other centres include Oakey and Pittsworth.

The seat has never elected a Labor member in either of its incarnations. While Toowoomba itself occasionally votes for Labor, it is nowhere near enough to overcome the conservative bent of the rural areas. It is currently a safe seat for the Liberal National Party, with a 16-point swing required for Labor to win it as of the 2013 election.
