Division of Makin
Makin was created at the 1984 redistribution, based in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, a socially mixed and
always politically marginal area. It is a young, mortgage-belt electorate, with a high level of dwellings being
purchased. Labor dominates the corridor of suburbs running from Gepps Cross to Salisbury Heights, while the
territory to the east is more marginal. The Liberals have some strength in Hills suburbs like Tea Tree Gully and
Golden Grove.
Makin was won for Labor in 1984 by
Peter Duncan, a long-serving former state minister with a high profile, who was a
junior minister in the Keating government. Duncan was swept away in the Howard landslide of 1996, replaced by
Trish Draper, a Howard favourite who entrenched herself in the seat in 1998 and 2001. After surviving a petty scandal
involving her travel entitlements, she retired in 2007, and Labor won the seat and has held it since.
Tony Zappia, Labor MP for Makin since 2007, was a fitness centre manager and Mayor of Salisbury before his election.
He has remained on the backbench. The 2018 redistribution added strong Labor territory around Parafield, strengthening
Labor's position. Zappia will be 70 in 2022 so this will probably be his last term. The Liberal candidate is Alan Howard-Jones,
a web designer and print estimator. The Greens candidate is Emma Mustaca, whose occupation is not stated.
