History
A new seat created before the 1996 election with a notional Labor majority of only 2.0%. However, it saw one of Labor's best results in 1996, recording a 6.8% swing to Labor, the largest in the state. Another 6.9% swing to Labor in 2001 made it a very safe seat, the margin increased even further in the most recent redistribution.
