Electoral district of Florey
- Electoral district of Florey
Florey is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. It is named after scientist Howard Florey, who was responsible for the development of penicillin. It is a 15km² urban electorate in Adelaide's north-east, taking in the suburbs of Modbury and Modbury Heights, as well as parts of Gilles Plains, Hope Valley, Modbury North, Para Hills, Para Vista, Valley View and Wynn Vale.
Florey was created at the electoral redistribution of 1969 as a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party, and was first contested at the 1970 state election. It was held comfortably by the party for more than twenty years before its shock fall to the Liberal Party of Australia at the 1993 election, amidst a landslide result caused by the fallout from the collapse of the State Bank of South Australia. The effect was short-lived, however, and Florey was subsequently regained by Labor at the 1997 election with a sizable swing, and more so at the 2006 election.
