It was named for Charles Hawker, who was a federal MP 1929–38. It was located in the southern suburbs of Adelaide and took in the suburbs of Ascot Park, Edwardstown, Glenelg and Morphettville. Hawker was located between the seats of Hindmarsh and Kingston.Originally created as a marginal Liberal seat prior to the 1969 election on a notional 5.8 percent two-party margin, the seat was won by Labor on a 7.9 percent two-party margin from a 13.7 percent two-party swing. It was redistributed toward the Liberals twice over the years − prior to the 1977 election from a marginal Labor seat to a notional marginal Liberal seat and again prior to the 1984 election from a fairly safe Labor seat to a notional marginal Labor seat − but was consistently held as a marginal to safe seat by Labor's Ralph Jacobi from Hawker's creation until the 1987 election and then as a marginal seat by Labor's Elizabeth Harvey for one term. However, Hawker was finally taken by Liberal Christine Gallus at the 1990 election on a razor-edge 0.01 percent two-party margin from a 1.2 percent two-party swing, a victory of just eight votes. The seat was abolished prior to the 1993 election, with its territory being split between nearby Boothby held by Liberal MP Steele Hall since 1981 and Hindmarsh held by Labor MP John Scott since 1980. The Liberal hold on Boothby was reduced from a safe 10.7 two-party margin to a marginal notional 4.5 percent two-party margin while the Labor hold on Hindmarsh was reduced from a marginal 5.3 percent two-party vote to a marginal notional one percent two-party vote. Gallus opted to run for Liberal preselection in Labor-held Hindmarsh rather than run for Liberal preselection against incumbent Hall in Liberal-held Boothby. Gallus was successful for Liberal preselection in Hindmarsh, and subsequently won the seat at the 1993 election."@en }
