Division of Petrie
Petrie was created in 1949, and has changed very little since, consisting of a corridor of northern suburbs running out to the
Redcliffe Peninsula. Recent redistributions have moved the seat northward, taking in Deception Bay while shedding Chermside and
Stafford to the south. It was not changed by the 2018 redistribution. Petrie has a stable, home-owning and ageing population,
with a low proportion of families with dependent children for a suburban seat.
Petrie has always been a marginal seat, which Labor won in 1961 and 1983, and from 1987 to 1996.
Teresa Gambaro won the seat for the
Liberals in 1996 and was a Parliamentary Secretary in the Howard Government. She was defeated
in the Rudd sweep of Queensland in 2007 (in 2010 she returned as MP for Brisbane). Labor's
Yvette D'Ath was a Parliamentary Secretary
in the Rudd-Gillard Government. She was re-elected in 2010 but very narrowly defeated in 2013. (She landed on her feet by winning a
state by-election in 2014, and is now a Queensland minister.)
Luke Howarth, Liberal MP for Petrie since 2013, who was re-elected with an increased majority in 2016, was a company director of a
family business before entering politics. He is now Assistant Minister for Youth and Employment Services. He is the fifth member for
Petrie in a row to hold ministerial office, which is remarkable for a marginal seat. The Labor candidate is Mick Denton,
a worker at the local oil refinery. The Greens candidate is Will Simon, a student.
