The seats with the lowest populations are these (all below 133k): 132,410 NSW Lyne 132,121 QLD Blair 131,336 NSW Paterson 130,691 VIC Menzies 130,306 QLD Fisher 120,735 NT   Lingari 107,538 NT   Solomon 102,655 TAS Lyons 101,684 TAS Bass 100,790 TAS Braddon 100,617 TAS Denison   97,546 TAS Franklin http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/BN/2011-2012/ (at population changes 19.8.2011 then Table 1a) The number of voters in Franklin (the electorate with the lowest population) is 71,090. http://www.abc.net.au/elections/federal/2010/guide/fran.htm Feb 22 13, 10:09 PM
