HIGGINS
Fairly safe Liberal, 8.8%.
Inner city: Melbourne’s inner eastern suburbs, including South Yarra, Prahran, Toorak, Malvern and Glen Iris.
Member: Hon. Peter Costello (born 1957), since 1990.
Traditionally one of the safest Liberal seats in Victoria, Higgins (like Kooyong) has been losing ground relative to outer suburban seats like Aston and Dunkley.
