- Division_of_Wakefield abstract "The Division of Wakefield is an Australian electoral division in the state of South Australia. The hybrid rural-urban 6,407 km² seat stretches from Salisbury in the northern suburbs of Adelaide through a portion of the Adelaide Hills to Clare in the Clare Valley, 135 km north of Adelaide. It includes the suburbs of Elizabeth, Craigmore, Munno Para, Virginia, and part of Salisbury, and the towns of Gawler, Balaklava, Clare, Kapunda, Riverton, Mallala, Freeling, Tarlee, Williamstown, and parts of Port Wakefield.The Division was named after Edward Gibbon Wakefield, who promoted colonisation as a tool for social engineering, plans which formed the basis for settlements in South Australia, Western Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The division was one of the seven established when the former Division of South Australia was redistributed on 2 October 1903. It was first contested at the 1903 federal election. Two of the seat's former members of particular note have been the inaugural Speaker of the House and two-time Premier of South Australia, Frederick Holder, and Howard government two-term Speaker Neil Andrew.Before the redistribution for the 2004 election, Wakefield was a rural seat that was held by the Liberal Party and its successors for all but five years from 1903 to 2004. For most of that time, it was a safely conservative seat. Labor only succeeded in winning it twice, at a a 1938 by-election and the 1943 federal election.Prior to 2004, it stretched from the Yorke Peninsula in the west to the New South Wales border in the east, encompassing much of the eastern rural area of the state, including much of the Riverland. It covered the towns of Angaston, Balaklava, Barmera Berri, Gawler, Gumeracha, Kadina, Kapunda, Loxton, Minlaton, Moonta, Morgan, Mount Pleasant, Nuriootpa, Renmark, Tanunda, Waikerie, Wallaroo and Yorketown.The seat's character was dramatically altered by the redistribution prior to 2004. It was pushed well to the south, absorbing a few of the outer-most northern Adelaide suburbs while losing much of its vast rural territory. The suburban area had previously been part of the abolished safe Labor seat of Bonython. Most of the rural area went to Grey and Barker. Wakefield's current area of 6,407 km² is roughly a fifth of its pre-2004 extent of 31,841 km².While Andew held the old rural Wakefield with a comfortably safe majority of 14.6 percent, the new hybrid urban-rural Wakefield became a marginal Labor seat with a notional 1.3 percent two-party margin. Andrew, the seat's member since 1983, believed this made Wakefield impossible to hold and retired. However, David Fawcett retained it for the Liberals in 2004 with a 0.7 percent two-party margin, defeating the former member for Bonython, Martyn Evans. At the 2007 election, Nick Champion became only the third Labor member ever to win Wakefield, with a 6.6 percent two-party margin. At the 2010 election, Champion technically made it a safe Labor seat by winning a 12 percent two-party margin. He became first Labor member to be re-elected to Wakefield, and the second to be re-elected for a full term. The South Australian federal redistribution in 2011 had the greatest impact on Wakefield where the Labor margin declined by 1.5 percent. Champion retained it at the 2013 election on a 3.4 percent two-party margin even as Labor lost government, marking the first time the non-Labor parties won government at an election without winning Wakefield.".
