Electoral district of Stuart
Stuart is an electorate for the South Australian House of Assembly. At 338,475 km², it covers the northeast part of the state extending from just north of the Barossa Valley all the way to the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales borders. The seat's main population centre is Port Augusta, however the seat spans from Kapunda, 80km north of Adelaide, up to the state borders, and includes the agricultural areas of Orroroo, Peterborough, Jamestown, Burra, Morgan and Leigh Creek. Stuart is the second-largest electorate by area in South Australia.
The electorate is named after John McDouall Stuart, who pioneered a route across through this area from the settled areas in the south to the port of Darwin in the north. This route later became the path of the overland telegraph and then The Ghan railway.
The electorate was created in the 1936 redistribution—taking effect at the 1938 election. It was one of the few country areas where the Australian Labor Party did well, and for most of its existence was a comfortably safe Labor seat. It was abolished in 1993.
The seat was revived ahead of the 1997 election. It was massively expanded beyond just Port Augusta, stretching to the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales borders, taking in the eastern half of the abolished seat of Eyre, with the western half going to the Whyalla-based seat of Giles. On these boundaries, it was a marginal Liberal seat.
Graham Gunn held his seat in the 2006 election by just 233 votes after distribution of preferences. He retired at the 2010 election, when he was succeeded by Liberal candidate Dan van Holst Pellekaan. He received the largest swing in the state at the 2014 election.
