Going to be interesting to see which seat in SA get's announced as being abolished next week in the Federal redistribution by the AEC.
ACT and VIc get an extra seat due to population growth, SA loses one. There's talk of Sturt or Makin being abolished despite grey (the largest electorate) having the lowest enrollment. Wakefield would become a more urban seat and the mid-north parts of Wakefield (Clare/Pt Wakefield) going to Grey.
However I wonder will the ALP and Libs get together and recommend Mayo (NXT - Centre Alliance) gets abolished and the other seats are adjusted accordingly, Sturt and Boothby get the Hills bit of Mayo and the Fleurieu/KI bits got to Barker and Kingston respectively. Of course this will be done via separate submissions....
Strange days indeed, most peculiar mama, Strange days indeed.
So since 1990 Bonython, Hawker and now another federal seat will be lost to SA.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
