The two-party margin currently stands, after the 2013 vote, at 14.02 percent, making it the safest Labor seat in the state and the eighth-safest Labor seat in Australia. Port Adelaide remains the only electorate in South Australia to have voted Labor at every federal election in its existence. The former safe Labor seat of Bonython was abolished, with some southern parts transferred to Port Adelaide, however the majority of Bonython was transferred to Wakefield which contributed to Wakefield's change from a rural safe Liberal seat to a hybrid urban-rural notional marginal Labor seat.A notable curiosity in recent years was that in the 1998 and 2001 federal elections, the seat was the only one in Australia where a Communist Party candidate, Michael Perth, stood for election. This was the only occasion when the Liberal Party did not preference the One Nation Party last. He achieved about one percent of the vote on each occasion.Sawford retired at the 2007 election, which saw South Australian Labor's historically safe seat easily won by the newly endorsed Labor candidate, unionist and former head of the Left state Labor faction Mark Butler."@en }
