The Division is named after Federation -era poet and author Banjo Paterson and was proclaimed at the redistribution of 31 January 1992 . This recreated the former Division Of Paterson (1949-84) , which was abolished at the redistribution of 11 October 1984 and had similar boundaries. HISTORY Paterson was first contested at the 1993 Federal Election and was narrowly won by Bob Horne ( Labor ). After 1993 the seat was continuously exchanged between Horne and Bob Baldwin ( Liberal ); the seat changed hands in 1996 , in 1998 and again in 2001 . During this period both Bobs became so well known that name recognition in the Division was often in excess of 90% in private party polling. Horne did not contest the seat at the 2004 Election at which Baldwin comfortably defeated a new unknown Labor candidate to retain the seat for the first time. Paterson is currently regarded as a fairly safe Liberal seat. MEMBERS ELECTION RESULTS
