Electoral district of Warrego
Warrego is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland.
The electorate lies in the extreme southwest of Queensland, running along the western part of the border with New South Wales. It includes a number of rural centres, including the towns of Roma, St George and Cunnamulla.
==History==
The electoral district of Warrego was created by the ''Additional Members Act of 1864'' which introduced six new single-member electorates.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/explore/parliamentaryrecord/sections/Part%202.21.pdf )〕 A by-election was held to fill the seat. The nomination date was 18 March 1865 and the election was held on 25 March 1865.
Warrego was, as with the rest of the state, held by independents and loose groupings of members around the government of the day until the first years of the twentieth century, when the partisan system took hold. It then became a stronghold of the centre-left Australian Labor Party, who held it without interruption from 1908 to 1974. The decline of the rural working class changed the demographics of the electorate drastically, however, and it fell to the conservative National Party of Australia at the height of the popularity of the Bjelke-Petersen government in 1974. The National Party strongly increased their hold on the seat thereafter, and it is today one of their safest seats. The current member, Howard Hobbs, has held the seat since 1985, and was re-elected with 62% of the vote at the 2006 state election.
