Electoral district of Mount Gambier
- Electoral district of Mount Gambier
Mount Gambier is an electorate for the South Australian House of Assembly. It covers the southeast part of the state centered on the city and extinct volcano of Mount Gambier.
The electorate was created in the 1936 redistribution, but the name was not used between the 1991 and 1998 redistributions (the area was covered by Gordon during that time).
It is currently held by Rory McEwen, a former Liberal party member who missed out on preselection, so stood as an independent at the 1997 election. He was elected and has remained independent. He first accepted Labor portfolios after the 2002 election when Labor reclaimed power, and is Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for State/Local Government Relations, and Minister for Forests in the Mike Rann Labor majority government since 2006 elections.
