The Division of Capricornia is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland.
Capricornia is a traditionally a Labor-voting electorate, having been Labor-held for 72 years of the 100 years since 1922. However, Capricornia has recently trended towards the Coalition since 2013. This political realignment was particularly noticeable at the 2019 Australian federal election as blue-collar but highly paid mining workers deserted Labor for Pauline Hanson's One Nation and the Coalition.[1] Similar voting trends can be found in the nearby electorates of Flynn, Dawson, and Leichhardt.[1]
The current MP is Michelle Landry, a member of the Liberal National Party of Queensland.
