Reason for redirect[edit]

I have redirected Electoral district of United Pastoral Districts of Moreton, Wide Bay, Burnett, Maranoa, Leichhardt and Port Curtis to Electoral district of Moreton, Wide Bay, Burnett and Maranoa, in accordance with this reliable source Green, Antony. "Elections for Moreton, Wide Bay, Burnett and Maranoa". New South Wales Election Results 1856-2007. Parliament of New South Wales. which lists it as a single electoral district. This is consistent with the government gazette, by which the pastoral districts of Point Curtis and Leichhardt were added to the electoral district by proclamation in September 1856 [1], polling places were added in 1857, [2] and the district began being referred to as including the new districts in the writ for the by-election in 1857 [3]. Technically the name of the district was the "United Pastoral Districts of ..." as per the 1856 proclamation, but I have not included it as per Green & previous practice for this division.
