Electoral district of Giles
Giles is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. The largest electorate in the state, named after explorer Ernest Giles, covers a 493,365 km² swathe of South Australian outback. Its main population centre is the industrial town of Whyalla on the far south-east border of the seat which represents half of the seat's voters. The remaining half covers significant areas of pastoral leases and Pitjantjatjara Aboriginal land stretching to the Western Australian and Northern Territory borders, taking in the remote towns of Andamooka, Coober Pedy, Hawker, Iron Knob, Kimba, Quorn, Roxby Downs and Woomera. Giles also has a far north mobile booth.
Giles was created at the 1991 electoral redistribution to replace the abolished seat of Whyalla. It covered an area that had traditionally been a Labor stronghold, with support for the party being particularly strong in the city of Whyalla as well as in remote mining towns and indigenous communities. Sitting Labor MP for Whyalla and incumbent government minister Frank Blevins won his seat at the 1989 election with a safe 10.9 percent two-party margin. However, upon the creation of Giles, the margin was slashed in half to a notionally marginal 5.2 percent two-party margin. Labor suffered a swing in Giles at the 1993 election landslide, reduced to a 2.4 percent two-party margin for Labor successor Lyn Breuer.
At the 1997 election Giles was massively expanded beyond just Whyalla, stretching to the Western Australia and Northern Territory borders, taking in the western half of the abolished seat of Eyre, with the eastern half going to the Port Augusta-based seat of Stuart.
Breuer increased Labor to a fairly safe to safe margin at subsequent elections before retiring from politics at the 2014 election, with Labor candidate Eddie Hughes retaining the seat.
