Statistics and history
Adelaide has existed since South Australia was first divided into electorates in 1903.
It has always occupied a block of inner-city suburbs, gradually expanding at successive
redistributions at the population shifted to the suburbs. It has been a fairly safe Labor
seat for much of its existence, although it has some strong Liberal area. It has one of
highest concentrations of professionally employed people of any Labor-held electorate,
plus the low levels of families with dependent children and dwellings being purchased
typical of inner city seats.
Charles Kingston, the first member for Adelaide, was a famously radical Premier of SA and
one of the giants of the Federation period. Recent members have included Chris Hurford, a
minister in the Hawke government. Trish Worth (Liberal) was a Parliamentary Secretary from
1997 to 2004, but was defeated by Labor's Kate Ellis in 2004, a reflection of the general
trend of inner city seats to Labor.
Kate Ellis, Labor MP for Adelaide since 2004, was briefly an adviser to SA state Labor
ministers before her election, when at 26 she was the youngest member of the Parliament.
She was a minister throughout the Rudd-Gillard Government, and is now shadow minister for
education. Her Liberal opponent in 2016 will be David Colovic, a lawyer.
